The Lemmon Research Retreat:
A Center for the Study of Environmental Sciences Including the Application of Botany, Meteorology, and Geology
Fall 2022
Summerhaven, Arizona
Residing near the top of Mount Lemmon, this project reflects the site’s natural landscape, taking advantage of the mountainous views to the north, east, and south. The ground level is both on and above the earth, utilizing light materials like wood and glass, while the lower level becomes an extension of the earth, transitioning into heavier, dense masonry.
