Sited on a rocky hillside in the high desert of Arizona, the Witness House bridges a valley and juts into the sky. Overlooking the valleys below, the home sits both within and above the landscape. A focus on indoor and outdoor living spaces organizes the home around exterior patios both covered and uncovered. Clad in weathering steel and anchored with rammed earth walls, the material palette blends into the desert landscape and reflects the surrounding stone monuments.
