Ellsworth Desert House by Michael P. Johnson

Ellsworth Residence belongs to a keen art collector. The interior layout features an expansive living and dining area, with enough space to house works like an specially commissioned installation by Arizona artist Mayme Kratz, but also offers wide views to the desert surrounding the house.
‘My primary concern for the design was to minimize the impact to the pristine desert site explains Michael P. Johnson, ‘by bridging the desert arroyo, we minimized scarring of the desert floor’.
