Modern Take on Classic Southwestern Home

From: The Ranch Mine

Modern design touches offer a fresh take on a classic Southwestern home. A courtyard with stucco walls welcomes visitors to the recessed entry, while a private courtyard features a swimming pool for cooling off on hot desert days. Pivoting doors throughout the home allow for indoor-outdoor living year-round, including the master bathroom with its large copper soaking tub.
