Designed by Berkeley-based Rael San Fratello and Tucson-based Dust, this Marfa house is an ode to desert simplicityA structure at one with the wild, arid simplicity of the Texas desert, this Marfa house is the work of two architects, Berkeley-based Rael San Fratello and Tucson-based Dust.

The small desert city of Marfa in far West Texas is known for its art scene, nature, and stargazing opportunities. Here, the flat, dry expanses are rivalled in beauty only by the night sky, and this little – in scale perhaps, but not in scope or architectural ambition – home offers views of both, situated as it is in a large, secluded plot at the edge of town.

Solar panels on this Marfa house make the most of the Texas sun in this home that pays homage to the landscape around it at every turn. This, combined with the rest of its architectural features, makes it a modern classic , full of long vistas, natural materials, feature gardens and architectural moments, such as the outdoor shower next to the master bedroom, and the enticing study with its strategically placed window out towards the views.

Pile up behind as those behind won’t necessarily be able to see someone waiting to cross and not expect the car to stop.
