Project description by Hoogland Architecture: Arroyo House was originally envisioned as a “base-camp” for an active, yet nearly-retired couple. After recently relocating to the Las Vegas area, their love of all things outdoors convinced them to make their home in the tiny village of Blue Diamond, Nevada. While only minutes from Las Vegas, Blue Diamond is a ½ mile wide by ½ mile long hamlet, surrounded by some of the most iconic landscapes and sought-after rock outcroppings in the US. A sizable arroyo (natural wash) in the far southeast corner of Blue Diamond had always kept about an acre and a half isolated from the rest of the community. Decades-old mining exploration activities had left irreversible scarring on the site, but the surrounding public lands, managed by the BLM, were largely untouched. The soon-to-be owners had already taken up residence in an older home in the middle of town when this seemingly forgotten piece of property came up for sale. They knew they had to buy it.

Hoogland建筑项目描述：Arroyo House最初被设想为一个积极的、但几乎退休的夫妇的“营地”。在最近搬迁到拉斯维加斯地区后，他们对户外一切事物的热爱使他们决定在内华达州蓝钻石这个小村庄里安家。虽然距离拉斯维加斯只有几分钟车程，但蓝钻石是一个宽半英里长的小村庄，周围环绕着一些最具标志性的景观，以及在美国广受欢迎的岩石露头。一个巨大的阿罗约(自然洗)在蓝色钻石的最东南角一直保持了大约一英亩半与社区其他地区隔离。几十年的采矿勘探活动给现场留下了不可逆转的伤痕，但由BLM管理的周围公共土地基本上没有受到影响。当这片看似被遗忘的房产被出售时，即将到来的业主们已经在市中心的一栋老房子里住了下来。他们知道他们必须买下它。

While we recognized the enormous potential of the site, and the owners gave us broad creative license, they also had strict project requirements. Although the home would be built over the scarred portion of the site, as much of the remaining portion of the site as possible would be preserved as wildlife habitat. The design was also required to optimize daylight and capture the stunning views only available from the highest elevations of the site. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, protected by 10’ deep overhangs in some cases, optimizes daylight and captures views of the famous Red Rock “Escarpment”. Medium hue, lightly ground and polished concrete floors, and bright white, no-VOC painted walls and ceilings reflect light deep into the living spaces.

虽然我们认识到该网站的巨大潜力，业主给了我们广泛的创造性许可，他们也有严格的项目要求。虽然房屋将建在遗址伤痕累累的部分上，但尽可能多的剩余部分将作为野生动物栖息地加以保护。这一设计还需要优化日光，捕捉只能从站点最高海拔处获得的令人惊叹的景色。膨胀的从地板到天花板的玻璃，在某些情况下由10英尺深的悬垂保护，优化日光，捕捉著名的红岩“惊涛骇浪”的景色。中等色调，轻磨和抛光混凝土地板，明亮的白色，无VOC油漆墙壁和天花板反射光线深入生活空间。

The owners also required that the home’s impact on the municipal water source, a communal artesian well, be minimal. All plumbing fixtures and toilets, are low-flow. All gray water is recycled for landscape irrigation, and all black water is treated on-site through a septic system. Primary heating and cooling is distributed through an in-slab hydronic radiant system. While the home would be connected to municipal utilities, they wanted a net-zero home that could produce as much or more electricity than it would consume. While recent changes to the power provider’s solar rebate programs have postponed the purchase and installation of a photovoltaic array, the owners expect to install a ballast-type array soon.

业主还要求，住宅对市政水源的影响是最小的，这是一口公用的自流井。所有的管道设备和厕所，都是低流量的.所有的灰色水被回收用于景观灌溉，所有的黑水都通过化粪池系统进行现场处理。一次加热和冷却是通过板内水合辐射系统进行的.虽然家庭将连接到市政公用事业，他们想要一个净零的房子，可以产生同样多或更多的电力，它将消耗。虽然最近对电力供应商太阳能回扣计划的改变推迟了光伏阵列的购买和安装，但业主们预计不久将安装镇流器式阵列。

As an aging couple, it was also important for the home to not only address their needs now, but also 10, 20 or 30 years into the future. Roll-in type showers, additional blocking for grab bars, and an exterior wrap-around deck connecting all program areas address the realities of aging in place. With the exception of the garage, all of the living spaces are on one level. A driveway connects the lower garage to the upper level, allowing for easy drop-off of groceries, for removal of recyclables, as a storm water diversion, and for additional guest parking. Landscape restoration on the remaining open areas of the site to a near-natural state is expected to take several years.

作为一对年迈的夫妇，家庭不仅要满足他们现在的需求，还要在未来的10年、20年或30年内满足他们的需求。滚动式淋浴，额外的抓斗堵塞，以及连接所有项目区域的外部环绕甲板，解决了老化的现实。除了车库，所有的生活空间都在一个层次上。车道连接较低的车库到上层，可以方便地卸下杂货，移走可回收的物品，作为暴雨调水，以及额外的客人停车。景观恢复的剩余开放地区的遗址，接近自然状态，预计需要数年。
