lightHOUSE is a renovation of a 1958 modern home in the Catalina foothills. the design concept was to reveal affinities between old and new, and inside and outside, through light, material, and attention to detail.

the renovation took the house back to its bones - posts and beams that recall the Case Study houses of California - black concrete floors, and adobe brick perimeter walls that reference the Sonoran Desert's earth constructions.
