架构师提供的文本描述。从程序上讲，房子被分成两个区域，一个4300平方英尺。居住的业主，一对夫妇需要一个非常低的维护生活方式，另一个地区，他们的广泛的家人和朋友谁经常参观亚利桑那阳光。尽管周围的许多住宅都与几个世纪前欧洲遥远文化中的主题相呼应，但这座家园却说明了它在索诺兰沙漠中的特殊位置。

Text description provided by the architects. Programmatically the home is split into two zones, one a 4300 sqft. residence for the owners, a couple requiring a very low maintenance lifestyle, and another zone for their extensive family and friends who visit the Arizona sunshine often. While much of the surrounding homes echo themes from distant European cultures of centuries past this home speaks to its specific place in the Sonoran Desert.

这些形式并不是由风格的限制而来的，而是由规划和气候的力量形成的。坚固的土墙和混凝土挡住了严酷的沙漠阳光和周围建筑的景色。一条几乎看不见的玻璃线，被深深的悬垂遮住，打破了室内和室外生活的界限，聚焦于远近的自然景观，以及遥远山谷中城市灯光的奇观。平面屋顶形式的折叠，以捕获雨水，并分散到周围的植被。

Forms derived not by the constraints of style but by programmatic and climatic forces shape this home. Solid walls of earth and concrete block out the harsh desert sun as well as views of surrounding structures. An almost invisible line of glass, shaded by deep overhangs, breaks down the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, focusing on near and distant views of nature as well as the wonder of city lights in the distant valley. Planar roof forms are folded to catch rainwater and disperse it to surrounding vegetation.

材料的选择不仅是因为它们固有的美丽和低维护性，而且也是因为它们自身的特性。铜矿开采在亚利桑那沙漠，包覆大胆的屋顶形式，似乎漂浮在室内和室外的居住空间。夯实的土墙是从遗址挖出的泥土制成的，从沙漠地面升起，呼应周围山脉的形态。其结果是一个真正和谐的家，它的网站，并表达了它在世界上的独特地位。

Materials are chosen not just for their inherent beauty and low maintenance but for their indigenous qualities as well. Copper mined in the Arizona desert, clad bold roof forms which appear to float above indoor and outdoor living spaces. Rammed Earth walls made of soil excavated from the site rise up from the desert floor echoing the forms of the surrounding mountain range. The result is a home that is truly in harmony with its site and is expressive of its unique place in the world.
