It’s a study in minimalism set in the rugged landscape of the Sonora Desert. Architect Rick Joy knows how to give warmth to crisp lines in his use of woods and textures not usually seen in this style. He sees nature as the artist’s pallet worthy of taking a front row position in our daily lives, very much in the same way Frank Lloyd Wright understood the need to balance the relationship between nature and shelter. Joy’s Nomad House gives us the unusual experience that when one is inside, the outdoors seems to beckon and when outdoors, the interior spaces are equally enticing. These building cubes are constructed of wood, glass and steel and lines are clean and uncluttered both inside and out, creating a gallery of the landscape and the perfect backdrop for the owner’s collections inside.

Located on nearly five acres of desert in Arizona, the property sits at the base of the Tucson Mountains and Saguaro National Monument. Designed as a retreat, there are three cubes, each positioned to give an unobstructed desert view. The living-entertaining cube consists of 780 square feet with kitchen, dining room and powder room; the bedroom cube is 440 square feet with bath; and the library-office cube is 200 square feet and doubles as a guest room.

Previously offered as an alternative to the usual luxury spa, this desert retreat was available for lease at $400 a night to $8,000 per month. Now listed for sale at $ 895,000.
