Sited on a
North-facing
slope with wide open views of Red and White Mountain , the Reinhard
Residence
was designed to engage the landscape. The entry and great room
establish
a primary axis, stretching from a garden courtyard at the South, and
terminating
in a generous covered deck toward the North, reaching toward the
distant sage-covered foothills. The house has an open plan, with the
kitchen, dining, hearth, and living sharing perimeters, creating the
"great
room" design. The home is anchored to the site by a large circular
staircase
set within a stone tower. Because the tower faces South and East, the
rooms
beyond the tower have natural light throughout the morning and
early
afternoon. The house was finished just in time for a big
family Thanksgiving in 2003.
