Desert Retreat

Where the structure curves into circular yurt forms, wood paneling and ceiling elements were fitted precisely to meet the concrete floors. Getting it right required planning well before the first pour.

The 4,900 square foot home sits within a larger compound designed for every kind of guest. A barn, carport, boat and storage deck, dock, and campground with full hookups give the property range. Outside, native plantings and artificial turf replace what would have required irrigation and upkeep, practical choices for a home that runs without its owners most of the year.
