Kelly Residence
Mr. Kelly is one of the founders of Civano, a unique
residential development near the Saguaro National Park on the East side
of Tucson. The residents of Civano enjoy a lifestyle mindful of energy
use, water conservation and the Sonoran desert habitat. Mr. Kelly's
interest in sustainable living which incorporated organic gardening,
Solar (both passive and active) as well as water harvesting, were important
concepts from the inception of his home. Another strong design concept
was that of layering spaces in the entry sequence to the house - from
public to more private. The gateway to the motor court leads to an entry
courtyard and then to the front door and gallery, a traditional sequence
in Spanish courtyard homes. |
