Arizona Family Home under a Half-Dome Roof

AA Studio designed this bold dome-roofed three-bedroom family home in Sedona, Arizona.

The street side of the house is a symphony of curved adobe in varying rosy hues.

On the other side of the home the half and quarter circles are extended perpendicularly to the pool, while the color palette switches to brilliant blue.

The roof has the wonderful soft green patina of weathering copper.

Inside the house, the domed roof is panelled in wood, softening the soaring ceiling.

To the back of the house, the house is single storey, so the bedrooms get both a domed roof and their own small lawn outside.

A stepped landscape allows for intimate lawn views from the bedrooms.

The land is terraced on the private side outside the bedrooms, breaking up the hillside into a series of flat lawns.

On the other side, the land falls away naturally and the entrance, marked by a bright and generously proportioned red door, is from the top floor.

Stairs lead down outside to allow access directly to the pool in the front of the house.

So this would be one ‘welcome home’ view.

In Arizona, where temperatures can reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit, this is a welcome sight indeed!

A truly memorable and warmly nurturing home.
