The Circadian Home is located in the Anza Borrego Desert and aims to support the natural circadian rhythm of its inhabitants. It integrates with the rugged landscape while maximizing natural light, especially during important times like dusk and dawn. The design focuses on well-being through a strong connection with the environment.

Maximizing Natural Light

Natural light plays a crucial role in the home’s design. Large openings face north, allowing the bright desert sun to enter during the day. This approach ensures that the interiors remain well-lit without relying heavily on artificial lighting. The home's layout fosters a healthier living space for those inside.

Integrated Landscape

The architecture respects its surroundings, blending into the desert environment. It considers the sharp changes in light and shadow inherent to the region. Careful window placement reduces overheating in the home, making spaces comfortable while providing views of the striking landscape.

Holistic Living Environment

The design prioritizes a well-organized living space, with specific areas for work, rest, and leisure. This layout enhances the experience of the inhabitants by maximizing natural light throughout the home. It creates an atmosphere that encourages relaxation and mental clarity, integrating daily life with the patterns of nature.



Interior spaces are arranged to highlight the changing qualities of light throughout the day, allowing residents to feel more connected to their surroundings and enhancing their daily experience in the desert.
