Applegate Residence

We were commissioned to design this home for another breathtaking property in the red rock area of southwest Utah. As with the first house we designed for this region, these clients requested a design founded on the Spanish Pueblo Revival vernacular – replete with divided light windows and doors, wood columns and vigas, and distinct battered wall massings anchored within the landscape. Given the location of this particular site, our clients very much desired capturing the stunning views of the red cliffs from all primary spaces. At the same time, they also wanted the house to be organized around a traditional private, central courtyard that would serve as a serene oasis surrounded by the simple rectilinear volumes defining the house.
