Mariposa de Acero

Currently available.

2700 SF modern hillside home on 3.5 acres. Unfettered views of the whole Catalina range, close to downtown, one of the last remaining hillside lots within the city limits.

Perching lightly on the desert hillside mariposa de Acero was developed in response to elevated hillside building costs, and the desire to preserve the existing landscape. The diurnal thermal cycles of the desert hillside passively cool the residence by utilizing whole house cross ventilation.
