There is something about the desert that makes you want to spend time relaxing,
observing and exploring. The colors and smells of the landscape, and the harsh
yet beautiful environment where life surprisingly exists, among rocks and cacti,
all contribute to this fascination. The architecture and interior design of these
hospitality and residential projects perfectly capture the unique character of deserts
across the West and Southwest.
