Work & Stay
An inward-looking retreat facing an open courtyard.
Arroyo gives a wide living room a twelve-foot opening toward an external courtyard. The enclosed footprint remains a straightforward rectangle, with the bedroom, bathroom, and dressing area behind. Warm plaster and earth-toned accents create the feeling of a sheltered Southwest retreat.
