Pedigree: Designed by architect Rick Joy for a San Francisco art dealer, this award-winning 2005 residence (christened the Desert Nomad House) consists of three separate structures positioned in the landscape for optimal light and to create a shared courtyard. Clad in weathered steel, the rectilinear volumes contain an office/guest room, a master suite, and a combined living/dining/kitchen area, respectively. Maple paneling and glass partitions define the interiors.


Property Values: Towering saguaro cacti grow wild across the five-acre plot, which sits at the base of the Tucson Mountains.

Talking Point: Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping vistas of the surrounding wildlife and nearby range.
