Located in Nevada along the western most point of the Las Vegas Valley in with unobstructed views of the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area to its northwest and Spring Mountain along the southwest, Fort 137 is an environmentally conscious home comprised of a series of connected rock masses emerging from the earth.
Panoramic glass doors on the north and south facades extend the living space beyond the architectural perimeter while providing cross-ventilation and daylighting, along with expansive views. Deep, louvered roof overhangs help minimize heat gain by providing shade during summer months while allowing natural light to permeate the space during the winter.
The residence is largely comprised of carefully chosen native and regionally sourced materials that will compliment and evolve with the site as they age and patina over time. The carefully curated architectural material palette includes weathered steel, reconstituted oak, and limestone.
The overall design limits its environmental impact using sustainable strategies, such as, passive cooling, daylighting, thermal mass, infrastructure for photovoltaic panels, radiant heating, permeable surfaces, and robust materials.
