With wood shingled rolled eves, and waving butt lines that mimic a thatch roof, it exudes a fairy-tale-like ambiance, which is quite distinctive from the typical architectural landscape of the desert.

The Canyon model is inspired by the towering walls of a desert canyon, often carved by millennia of erosion. A quartzite flagstone surface that wraps the interior walls, emulating the colors and textures of the rocks and cliffs of a canyon. The stone’s texture creates a rich tapestry that changes with the light and shadows. A soft and warm European white oak floor balances the ruggedness of the stone, bringing a perfect calming balance felt in a canyon.Photos are courtesy Minimal Living Concepts.
