The house was designed by architect Michael Rotondi in 2007 and renovated over the course of 10 years. The floor plan incorporates two stories across 1,845 square feet, with a 10-foot ceiling in the upstairs bedroom and 14-foot-high openings in the downstairs bedroom. Characterized by simple forms and open volumes, the main addition is a cube 25 feet on each side. The rugged exterior is wrapped in Cor-Ten steel. Mondo central air eases the extreme desert climate, offering comfort throughout the home."
