R1027 – Desert House
​Project Data:  1,027 SF (2-Bedroom,  2-Bath, 1-Story on Concrete Slab)

This compact and simple house provides a bright and open Great Room and bedrooms. The 10' ceilings and large south folding glass door provide a seamless connection to the outside, making the house seem much larger than it is. The large south-facing patio has a retractable awning to protect from sunlight during the hot months and allow the sunlight to come into the rooms in the cooler months. At 1,027 SF, it is right-sized for compact living, a vacation home, or an Airbnb. 

This design promotes an environmentally sustainable and healthy structure and is affordable to maintain as the building ages. Some of the features are as follows:

• The house living spaces are oriented around a southern exposure for optimum solar access and natural daylight all day long.
• The super-insulated building shell uses traditional 2x6 framing with Huber Zip System® R-12 Insulated Panels for external insulation.
• The extra insulation combined with a smaller building size means that the house will use less energy to heat and cool.
• Durable, low-maintenance stucco, stone, and metal for the exterior finishes reduce long-term maintenance costs.
• Interior materials are specified to be low or no VOC to provide healthy indoor air quality.
