建筑师：

This small humble house sited on a south-facing desert slope extends a prominent flow of pinkish-red schist-shale into a simple elevated plinth that parallels the contours of the site, which run east-west. Hovering above the plinth is a large shade canopy that embodies the necessary sustenance for this shelter as a home. The thickened canopy will harvest the majority of the energy and some of the water needed for a carbon neutral house, as well as housing all mechanicals. The expansive canopy is supported by a dispersed core of peripheral mass elements that minimize overall glass percentages while framing focused views for a range of indoor / outdoor living programs north, south, east, and west. The west end of the land-based plinth is inhabited as a thick cave, while the main level of the plinth is open in all directions and, at times, has no discernible distinctions between inside and outside.

这座坐落在朝南的沙漠斜坡上的小房子，将一条显眼的粉红色片岩页岩流延伸到一个简单的高架上，与该地块的等高线平行，该等高线向东向西延伸。悬停在桥墩上方的是一个巨大的遮阳天篷，它体现了作为一个家的这个庇护所必需的寄托。加厚的树冠将收集大部分的能源和一些水所需的碳中性房屋，以及住房的所有机械。膨胀的天篷是由一个分散的核心周边质量要素，尽量减少整体玻璃百分比，同时为一系列的室内/室外生活项目，北部，南部，东部和西部框架聚焦的观点。陆基桥墩的西端是一个厚厚的山洞，而地台的主要水平是四通八达的，有时，里面和外面没有明显的区别。
