| An agressive architectural statement situated on an acre of natural desert, Earth & Light is a perfect example of contemporary Modernism. Its minimal and elegant architecture is as much a part of the earth with its thick concrete/earth walls as it is to the light with its glass expanses and sky slots. The house, which was designed by architect Marwan Al-Sayed in 1998, has a simple rectangular floor plan that bridges a natural wash on the property. This award-winning home with its intimate connection to the outside environment creates within it the serenity of light and space. It was hand built by two firefighters, a husband and wife team. Most of the materials are recycled product either from the property or architectural products from other projects. An ideal corporate event venue, this home can seat 30 people inside for dinner with a lovely reception area by the pool. |
