The Crown Canyon Opal residence is fully maximized for views, sunlight orientation, open space and privacy. The site allows for an encapsulating entry at the core of the canyon with 360-degree views capturing the mountain preserve and city views. Floating rooflines frame the modern expression of the design resting on the elevated hillside lot. The palette draws warmth from the canyon geology, allowing the project to blend harmoniously with the pristine desert.

Judges’ Comments | The exterior design is elegant, and the lower-level outdoor space in particular is attractive.
