Rammed earth adds natural quality to Arizona home
- Kendle Design Collaborative reveals Desert Fairway Residence in Paradise Valley, Arizona, blending rammed earth and cactus-inspired detailing.
- The home emphasizes a slow reveal, with solid and void, interior and exterior, and light and shadow as guiding concepts.
- Exterior features include rammed earth walls and a slender front terrace that frames views of the landscape.
- A central open plan houses the public spaces, while bedrooms occupy side wings for separation from the main living area.
- The rear terrace features a slender swimming pool that visually cools the outdoor space.
- Materials chosen to blend with the desert landscape include natural stone, warm wood, and burnished concrete blocks.
- Rammed earth is valued for aesthetics, sustainability, and its place connection, per the design team.
- Key credits include Brent Kendle and Cathleen Kebert as lead architects, with Holly Wright Design and GBtwo Landscape Architecture.
- Photographer Ema Peter captured imagery for the Desert Fairway Residence project.
- Desert Fairway Residence adds to Kendle Design Collaborative’s portfolio of desert-inspired architecture.
