I stayed at Rosa Muerta for a couple of days and is was an amazing experience. It’s architecture, it’s freedom, it’s pure lust, it’s contemplating, it’s full absorbtion in the intense dessert.
Camping is too primitive to experience certain aspects of nature, especially in harsh climates like the dessert, and staying in a house too; it blocks too much. Roso Muerta hits the spot.
Personally i’m not much of a decorator, but the dessert evolkes some sort of delirium, and the big heart seems to fit the mood over there just right. I guess you have to free yourself from a lot of stuff they teach you at school in order to fully absorb the insanity (and beauty) of the dessert. Same for Rosa Muerta; it’s a longing for freedom and intensity.

A very good project in the concept, its relationship with environment, the outdoor livingroom is very good ¡But is so kitch! the heart, the roses, the balls in the pergola like a horizontal balaustrade. A very good Arquitecht with an strange taste for the details and ornament.

PD: Sorry for my english

@vw Radiation isn’t measured in F degrees. A black wall gets even hotter than the outside temperature anyway. The wall remains chiller in the morning, and by night the heat gets released gradually. Objects around a radiating body accumulate heat according to the distance between the source and the receptor. A heated wall can’t radiate more heat than an open fire. Even so, the effect is diminished by the surrounding air temperature and breeze. If you’ll sit near a highway by night, you’ll see what thermal mass can do, and it’s actually a very pleasant feeling.

Yeah – a 35 degree drop at night…
From (an average maximum) 105.2 Degrees F. all the way down to (an average minimum)70.6 Degrees F. Brrrrr!!!! (via: http://www.desertusa.com/jtree/jtmap.html)

I bet those walls radiating 105 Degrees F. at night feels like you’re sleeping in a freeking oven!

People, the desert may be sunny during the day, but gets really chilly by night. Has any of you heard about thermal mass? These black walls accumulate heat during the day and radiate it by night. This place is enough shaded and naturally ventilated to create a comfortable ambiance during the hot desert noon. Of course criticism shouldn’t be banned, but let that criticism be relevant.

Black might be ingenious anywhere OTHER THAN the desert!

You wouldn’t be able to walk through the “open air living space” (to hide in the windowless bedroom) without your flesh feelining like it might burst into flames during the daytime.

the black concrete is ingenious – no-one would sit outside during the day in the desert anyway – when it gets cold at night, the retained energy would provide for some comfortable use;

the geometry is an interesting contrast to the setting; the last thing i would want to see is adobe or organic off-form – too obvious a choice. i like the lines of this structure.

such vitriol in many of the comments. so much hate. i suppose it’s easier to be a smartarse when hiding behind a computer.

I am sure a comment about a burned rear end is in there somewhere already, but black concrete in the desert sun = burned rears. Nice work though, and its built. Everything I do now makes it through permitting then gets cancelled due to funding. It is picking up a bit now with a few actual construction starts.

I didn’t know that building your own home, was such a big deal. As far as i know, it’s been done since the beginning of time…. I guess the difference here is that the guy built a time share.

I think the architect just had too many of his friends visit the site and support his own work. I mean, He did do so himself… These comments are unreal.

Coming to this debate late- Negro must the new blanco- si? and who ever said American’s don’t get irony. This house is the most interesting thing I have seen in days- no need to defend it or what you have written Mr Stone- this is art and you have made something memorable- like a tatoo- but in a good way.
