Designed by an architect for himself, this startling original home won the Residential Architects Project of the Year award and has been published in numerous design magazines. Named the ''Xeros Residence'', this home is magnificently unique. Contemporary design elements include a rusting steel frame and steel mesh screening that shades the exterior glass, interior walls of gypsum plaster coated with wax and wood floors with a thermal-resin finish. Color is deployed and reflected with accents of green and blue glass. The compact work/live floor plan provides for every necessity. The glass walls open to views of city lights and desert mountains. Nothing else on the market quite like it! From Architectural Record to Dwell Magazine and the AIA, this award-winning home has been celebrated internationally for its innovative design, bold sculptural form and direct, lasting materiality. The home offers design solutions in a direct response to its environment. Loft-like interior volumes slot within an exoskeleton of steel to create spaces that interact with view, sky and earth that feel strong, secure, and sheltered. Highly published, this is an Architectural Gem not reproduced for a fraction of this price. Hand plastered interior walls combine with expert panel joinery to make the most of the interiors. A high level of craft and custom design are evident throughout this special home.
