Architect Rick Joy put some juice in Sonoran Desert with this amazing desert house design. The prominent rough red roof of this Arizona house draws attention from miles around, but it is the home’s livable, relaxing characteristics that invite you to stay. The steel house’s humble exterior makes way for modern interiors, with stainless steel, maple and glass against a white palette. At the heart of the design, the courtyard brings fresh greenery to the hillside home’s minimalist interiors. Built into the sloping property and partially below the ground level, this hill house plan puts outdoor living rooms privately out of view. An infinity pool points toward a west-facing view and the mountain range beyond the desert. Rick Joy
