Earth Sheltered Solar Modern – Scalise Associates Architects

This Modern view home in Fountain Hills offers a panoramic setting coupled with superb efficiency thanks to its innovative design. Partially earth-sheltered, the home was designed and built to provide complete protection from the elements, while the exacting solar orientation creates even natural lighting year round: the home aligns with the Solstice. The Structure is impressive: even the roof offers 24” of insulated structure that acts as a natural barrier to heat gain and allows the home to sit unobtrusively along the hillside.  The custom millwork is world class and of the highest quality.  The interior finishes offer a mid-century vibe.   All images copyright HRM/azarchitecture.com
