Desert City House by Marwan Al-Sayed Architects
USA based architects Marwan Al-Sayed Architects just completed a house in Arizona that caught my attention. This house is conceived as an ancient thick mass casting, with the two one story volumes defining the entry courtyard and acting as a base for the plaster volume upper story, which houses the main living, dining and kitchen spaces, as well as outdoor dining decks.
This project makes urban desert living simple, graced by strong apertures in thick walls, slightly inflected and with proportions more commonly found in ancient cities than the cities and homes that surround us today.
