About This Home
As of May 2025Situated along a picturesque wash with magnificent views of Apache Peak, this architectural masterpiece designed by Optima DCHGlobal, features two offset modules measuring 18'x72'x11', connected by a striking steel vaulted roof structure. The interior creates a captivating entry and gallery space. The sophisticated steel and glass house beautifully contrasts with the concrete garage, all seamlessly linked by a floating, cantilevered steel deck adorned with IPE wood decking & sleek glass guard rails. The home harmoniously integrates the natural landscape and elegantly floats above the ground on four concrete piers, preserving the pristine desert terrain. The transparent architecture blurs lines between indoor and outdoors. Lush landscaping provides privacy, yet views from every room.
