Casa Pacienca
Nestled amongst the Saguro Cactus
forest,Casa Paciencia responds to its environment through the use of intimate architectural forms, Mexican colors, and earthen hues that echo the hillside and
desert setting. This new construction bio-medical think-tank and residential
complex is 30,000 square feet and houses
15-20 people at full capacity. Water
harvested from the rooftops and patios
is reused to provide the landscaping
and gardens with water and irrigation.
Colors are used to guide guests through
the village campus, and buildings are
sited to encourage the flow of natural
cross ventilation, as breezes flow up
and down the hillside canyon.
