TURNING UP THE DESERT HEAT



JUST FINISHED INSTALLING A PROJECT DOWN IN THE CALIFORNIA DESERT.  THE VIEWS OUT ARE SURREAL, INSIDE CALLED OUT FOR PURE STRONG FORMS AND WARM TEXTURES.  THERE IS STILL WORK TO BE DONE AND SOME LAST FINISHES ARE WEAVING THEIR WAY IN BUT THE HOUSE IS COMING HOME!


THE LARGE DOORS FLANKING THE FIREPLACE ARE SCRUBBED THROUGH TO REVEAL LAYERS OF COLOR BENEATH.  THE HINGES ARE CARVED POSTS THAT ARE SET AT THE TOP AND BASE.  THE "GRAB" IS A SLIT/CRAVASSE AT THE MEETING OF THE DOOR PAIRS. AT THE BASE ARE WAXED STEEL LINED WOOD BINS.
