Ventana Canyon Residence
High in the Catalina Foothills, this five-bedroom family vacation house quietly overlooks Tucson through layers of glass and steel.
A gentle, canyon-like spatial sequence leads visitors through spaces protected from view on the lower floors upward to the living spaces, to panoramic views of the Sonoran Desert through a single wide aperture.
Flickering in and out of view from a distance, the house hovers between privacy and promontory, retreat and exposure.
