Nestled between the cacti and tumbleweed that make up the Arizona desert lies the Desert Nomad House. Created by architect Rick Joy of Rick Joy Architects in Tucson, these three separate structures are about as far from the city as you can get.
The 1,500-square-foot home consists of a bedroom and bathroom in the first unit, an office and study in the second unit, and a dining and living room area in the third unit. Each unit is comprised of floor-to-ceiling glass windows, allowing for natural light as well as fantastic scenic views.
While the estate offers a sense of solitude and tranquility nestled in its Sonora Desert setting, with its asking price of $975,000, this home is a little too rich for my blood.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Desert Minimalism Homes
- Architects can explore using minimalistic designs for homes in desert areas to provide an escape from the city life and embrace the beauty of a tranquil environment.
- Floor-to-ceiling Clad Windows in Homes
- Architects can experiment with using floor-to-ceiling clad windows to offer picturesque views of the outdoors from every corner of the home, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors.
- Remote Work-friendly Homes in Tranquil Environments
- The concept of building work-from-home-ready homes in far-off, tranquil environments can be explored to provide professionals with opportunities to work remotely from peaceful surroundings.
Sectors Adopting This
- Real Estate Industry
- The real estate business can leverage the trend of providing potential customers with minimalistic designs and picturesque views in tranquil environments, which can help attract the urban demographics interested in luxurious yet peaceful accommodations.
- Architecture Industry
- The architecture industry can experiment with providing an escape from urban setups, where creating minimalistic designs with focus on natural light and picturesque views can be explored to provide tranquil living spaces.
- Property Development Industry
- The property development industry can explore trends of building remote work-friendly homes in tranquil environments, which can help provide work-from-home professionals with new opportunities for peaceful living and working spaces.
