Hardin Residence
Part of the Modern Tucson 2013 Home Tour was this new re-development on the Westside of Tucson. This house is comprised of four rooms distributed around a courtyard to optimize natural light and ventilation on a tight urban infill site. The south façade is structural adobe, employing thermal mass to modulate interior comfort. A steel brise-soliel shades southern glass during the warm months but allows direct solar gain in the winter. Exposed masonry, steel, and concrete finishes require little long term maintenance, and custom steel elements add visual interest to the simple palette of materials and colors.
