Desert courtyard house · Paradise Valley, ArizonaEvery house here was built once.
There is no house type on this page. A courtyard plan in Paradise Valley and a low white volume above the Pacific have nothing in common to look at, and everything in common in how they were put together.
What they share is the arithmetic behind them. One superintendent each. A budget open to the owner from the first week. Enough time at the start, on the land, that nothing structural had to be argued about later.
