The Residence

A home where the Sonoran sky is part of the architecture.


High on a saguaro-covered slope in the Tucson Mountains, 5120 W Salerno Drive is a sculptural, multi-level residence built around one idea: the view.

Walls of glass frame the valley, the mountain ranges and the city below. In the evening, the sky turns pink and gold, and the lights of Tucson come on across the valley.
