Rinck Residence
This Santa Fe pueblo style home ideally sited to allow the back yard and activity area of the house to get the best solar orientation during the winter months with the patio covers extending out just the right distance to the south facing rooms to shield these spaces from direct sun in the summer months. The exterior and the interior both reflect and highlight the curvilinear nature of the surrounding local sonoran desert landscape, mountains, and boulder outcroppings. Both the plan and elevations play with these soft undulating desert forms. The landscaping aids in the perception that the house grows out of the desert as a natural part of the sonoran desert environment.
