Design Elements

Dining room, Canyon View

All of the public areas enjoy expansive views of the canyon.


Guest room, Red Hawk

Breezy and cool, the guest room is in a private location off the courtyard.


Public/private separation, Red Hawk

The public and private areas of the Red Hawk home are effectively separated by this long, vaulted hall, four steps down off the main living area.


Boveda ceiling, Rammed Earth

A brick ceiling, crafted by artisans from Mexico, is supported by the massive rammed earth walls.


Screen porch off master bedroom, Rammed Earth

The sleeping porch is positioned to capture the cool breezes coming up the hill from the southeast.


Entry, Rammed Earth

An expressive entry of earth, stone, and steel.


Porch detail, Blue Rock

Dry stack rock gathered from local ranches form the porch enclosure.


Stair tower, Blue Rock

Dark stained pine contrasts with smooth plaster in the old garrison tower.


The Garrison at Blue Rock

Massive cypress doors seal off the music room from extraneous noise.
