Kendle Design Collaborative designs a true sculpture, while effectively balancing the owner's desire for grandeur and intimacy by establishing the interior living spaces as a starting point
Playful collection of organic shapes in the desert: Dancing Light Residence
The shape of the desert, indigenous materials, mountain views, and natural light inspire the design of the villa, which is distinguished by a playful collection of organic forms in rammed earth, metal, concrete, and glass
Form and materials are at the center; lighting and mechanical devices are carefully hidden within the cracks of the materials. Interior spaces are arranged around a central exterior atrium, which allows for modulation of daylight and breezes, contributing to the creation of natural interior comfort
Natural light brings this home to life, filtering through carefully articulated slots or reflecting off the strategically placed pool, constantly transforming the atmosphere of this home. Sometimes the light reflected from the water dances through the fractured surfaces of the earth and wood, while at other times it imparts a Zen-like sense of calm
