Corrugated metal panels reflect the ever-changing desert sky. A simple, crafted interior palette of plywood and concrete gives way for triangular geometries which guide the layout of the home, each space with a unique character. Visitors take advantage of the desert site with large openings connecting them to the rugged landscape. Framed views are carefully located in all directions, angled such that light enters at unexpected angles, changing with the day and the seasons.
“Day turns to night eventually but it’s a matter of light and darkness, it’s not time passing, mortal time. There’s none of the usual terror. It’s different here, time is enormous, that’s what I feel here, palpably. Time that precedes us and survives us.”
- Don Delillo, Point Omega
