The design of the house was influenced by the inherent building in desert areas, concerns of environmental impact and cultural sensitivity, and careful observation of local materials, climate and landscape.

The volumes are made of rammed earth, with bricks in the garage and patio. The project was conceived to be part of the environment with low impact and to be projected with solar passive design using the walls as main insulation factor and cross ventilation to cool the interiors. The core of the house is a courtyard that provides a micro weather condition cooling down the place with sea breeze flow and the use of lattices in the walls that allow this natural flow. Because of its remote location, the site is without electricity; stored solar energy is used to provide hot water and to charge solar lanterns.
