Matsumura / Haver House Remodel / Wendell Burnette Architects

Valeria Silva — Sat, 30 Jan 2021 02:00:00 +0000

This project is a small but important phased remodel of a 1952 Haver Home within the architecturally significant Marlen Grove neighborhood (a former citrus grove) for a young ASU Law Professor that commutes from his Bernal Box in the Bay Area to stay here when the University is in session. Ralph Haver, AIA was one of the most prominent architects practicing here during the postwar boom in Phoenix and similar to A. Quincy Jones worked for developers like Eichler in California.

Desert Courtyard House / Wendell Burnette Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Sat, 15 Jun 2019 15:00:00 +0000

The site is a peninsula of granite outcroppings and towering Saguaro cacti surrounded on all sides by deep perennial desert washes except for a single spit of land affording access from an Ocotillo studded ridge above. The building site, further down a long private drive, levels out toward the west into an edge condition dominated by an expansive vista - layers and layers of distant mountain ranges - that in the evening seem to epitomize the drama of the Arizona Sunset. Due to the elevation of the site beneath the community’s gaze and the entry gate at the road it became important to us - to recede the house as a deep shadow - into the depth and complexity of the desert floor below.

Dialogue House / Wendell Burnette Architects

Karissa Rosenfield — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Two volumes of light - one warm and one cool - one projected to the expansive horizon and one toward the canopy of the desert sky. Inspired by John Van Dyke's ruminations on the phenomena of desert light, specifically "colored air" and "reflected light" in his 1901 book titled The Desert - Further Studies in Natural Appearances, the 2200 square foot Dialogue House is a gestalt instrument for touching the full range and specificity of this light, this "place"- day and night, season to season and year to year.
