P2 CUSTOM RESIDENCE

In 2019, our firm began exploring the luxury residential real estate market. Shortly after, we were approached by a general contractor to design a 5,000 square foot three-bedroom home on a 0.46-acre, four home cul-de-sac site. The project, referred to as P2, aimed to create a "desert contemporary/modern home" using natural materials and emphasizing natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. The two-story home features a kitchen, family room, dining room, office, and restroom on the first level, and three bedrooms, laundry room, and restroom on the second level. The elevated entrance includes decorative concrete stairs with integrated planters and lighting. Upon approaching the entry, there is a glass-enclosed dining room protected by a large metal-clad roof element and a mass wall on the south. A circulation "catwalk" provides access to the second-floor spaces, allowing natural daylight to reach the center of the home through four skylights. The living space extends to three outdoor decks, offering views of the mountains and the backyard pool. The exterior materials include stucco, porcelain tile, and metal panels.
