From the architect. Imbedded in a dramatic rock outcrop overlooking a natural, year-round, swimming

hole, the Pond House is a bridge to two unique and disparate ecosystems: the Sonoran Desert and its

local riparian microcosm. As a modestly scaled 165 square meter weekend retreat, the Pond House

also bridges the metropolitan intensity of Phoenix, thirty miles south, with an idyllic oasis of desert

calm and contemplation.
