Marfa Residence是一所占地面积为6000平方英尺的房子，耗时了两年时间的时间建成。采用350万磅土建成了两英尺厚的夯土墙。选择夯实土作为施工方法的部分原因是由于其热力学性质。由于昼夜温度的波动，寒冷的夜晚和温暖的白天大量的墙壁可以自我调节。夯土有一种适合奇Chihuahuan的质地，这是非常有趣和独特的。土壤和地面构成了美丽的起伏平原，这就是Marfa的景观。

Marfa Residence is a 6,000-square-foot house that took two years to build. It took 3.5 million pounds of earth to build a two-foot-thick rammed earth wall. The choice of rammed earth as a construction method was partly due to its thermodynamic properties. Due to day-night temperature fluctuations, a large number of walls can self-regulate during cold nights and warm days. Rammed earth has a texture that suits the Chihuahuan, which is very interesting and unique. The soil and ground form a beautiful rolling plain, which is the landscape of Marfa.

用这种方法总共建造了8个结构，在大多数情况下，每个结构都有自己的空间。它们包括一个机械室，一个办公室，健身房，客房，客翼，艺术工作室，组合厨房，客厅和餐厅，和主要的卧室套房。这些结构围绕着一个庭院，由上面的有顶门廊和下面的通风通道连接，因为它们没有相互连接，所以也可以进入每个房间。这些结构和每一扇窗户的布置都是经过深思熟虑的，旨在充分利用周围沙漠景观和附近一览无度的山脉景观，同时避免该地区特有的恶劣天气。

A total of eight structures were constructed in this way, each with its own space in most cases. They include a machinery room, an office, gym, guest room, guest wing, art studio, combined kitchen, living and dining room, and main bedroom suite. The structures, which surround a courtyard, are connected by a covered porch above and a ventilation passage below, and because they are not connected to each other, they also have access to each room. These structures and the placement of each window were carefully considered to take advantage of the surrounding desert landscape and the unobstructed mountain views nearby, while avoiding the harsh weather characteristic of the area.

这套四卧室、七浴室的房子的家具陈设仍在设计。这个“梦想项目”它的低调来自于使用来自地球的天然材料，保持了建筑师的理念，创造一个插入到未受干扰的沙漠景观的家……它几乎就像沙漠本身的自然部分。

The furnishings for the four-bedroom, seven-bath house are still being designed. The low-key feel of this' dream project 'comes from the use of natural materials from earth, keeping with the architect's concept of creating a home inserted into the undisturbed desert landscape... It's almost like a natural part of the desert itself.

建筑围绕一个中心庭院而建；根据房主的要求，还增加了一个低矮的喷泉，吸引了大量的鸟类和蝴蝶。楼梯，在主卧室入口的右边，通向mirador或屋顶区域，周围的沙漠和山脉的广阔视野。垂直设置在周边的生钢管正是用来制作牛栏和栅栏的，特别选择作为对该地区牧场遗产的致敬。

The building is built around a central courtyard; At the request of the owner, a low-slung fountain was added, attracting a large number of birds and butterflies. The staircase, to the right of the master bedroom entrance, leads to the Mirador or rooftop area with expansive views of the surrounding desert and mountains. The raw steel pipes that are placed vertically around the perimeter are used to make cattle pens and fences, chosen specifically as a tribute to the area's ranching heritage.
