cooper | skinner guesthouse

450 square feet | tucson, arizona

architect | contractor: repp design + construction

materials: 4" high masonry block, butt glazed glass, galvanized corrugated metal

The Cooper Skinner guesthouse functions as a retreat for visitors and as a private workspace for its owners. Views to the garden to the north were maximized with floor to ceiling glass. A large sloping metal roof provides shade and directs rainwater towards the garden below. The use of insulated masonry and metal panels in conjunction with a compact footprint maximize energy efficiency and durability. Photographer: Bill Timmerman
