Located in the West side of Las Vegas, the home’s orientation and program prioritize amazing views of Red Rock Canyon to the west and the Las Vegas “Strip” to the east. The home is designed to provide privacy from the streetscape, and transition naturally into the desert landscape via an articulated façade along the north. Designed for a single family, the home provides various areas to relax, entertain, and retreat. Space planned in an expansive L-shape configuration, with the longest façade stretching east-west, the home centralizes family life in the core and separates the private spaces at its two ends. Adapting to the natural site topography, the home elevates towards the west a total of 3’ from its sunken dining space to the west wing. The eastern portion of the home features a dramatic entry, flanked by a honed masonry wall visible from both the interior and exterior. The recessed entryway and light wells at either side of the kitchen bring natural light into the living spaces while providing privacy from the streetscape. The upper levels house the primary bedroom and guest bedrooms / lounge, but are separated from one another via a rooftop walkway and gathering space. A viewing deck above the east garage features a fire pit and seating area with views towards the Vegas Strip. The primary bedroom faces east as well, taking advantage of those same views. The guest bedroom and lounge are located on the western wing. The yard, sheltered from the streetscape via the L-shape of the building, and from neighboring properties with tall shade trees, creates a private sanctuary. The kitchen and dining room open via multi-slide doors from the vertex of the home’s overall L-shape, creating a connection to the outdoor living room and kitchen. A pool follows the length of the home towards the west, terminating at an outdoor dining area with a view down the length of the pool. The exterior finishes primarily consist of sand-finish white stucco, accented with honed concrete block, weathered steel, and natural wood-inlays. The selected materials will naturally weather with time, aging gracefully along with the home’s occupants. The interior finishes consist of exposed concrete floors, natural wood millwork accents, and white walls to complement the abundant natural lighting.
