Our proposed design for the Canyon Arroyo residence responds to the landscape by using the existing terrain to amplify the design. Each stone-clad architectural intervention is envisioned as boulders arising from the terrain. A series of glass and steel “lanterns” are seated amongst the boulders. During the day, the expanses of glass allow the interiors to be illuminated by natural light, while the large glass structures cast a soft glow into the exterior courtyards and landscape at night. The existing water features are expanded, creating a network of waterways that flow through the property, leading to a serene lake.
The concept responds to the landscape rather than the architectural language of the existing structures.
