A great example of innovative desert homes, this urban house in Tempe, Arizona, designed by architects Chen + Suchart Studio, illustrates the art of stacking styles, volumes and materials. The modern Sosnowski Residence in the Arizona desert features an earthy, neutral base with an ultra-modern industrial-style glass box that appears to hover overhead. Floor-to-ceiling panels of glass are held by a bold, black frame which makes the upper level really stand out against the sky. By night, a glowing, floating cube offers a peak at the cozy comforts inside. Interior architecture, like the exterior, is decidedly industrial in style, featuring brick walls, exposed ductwork and steel-paneled ceilings. Chen + Suchart Studio
