- Bell, J. (2020). 'Hard Rock' - Ventana House. Wallpaper*, 3.More infoArizona’s Sonoran desert is the setting for this exquisitely planned piece of residential design; a house that appears defiantly modern yet is still utterly respectful of its surroundings. It is the work of Tuscon-based HK Associates, established by husband-and-wife team Michael Kothke and Kathy Hancox. Kothke and Hancox have responded to their adopted environment with a house that not only makes the most of the view but offers itself up as a geological fragment to be explored. The framing might be carefully considered but there is also room for chance – what the architects call an ‘anticipated, yet unknowable effect’. As a result, the Ventana house brings a welcome touch of the unexpected to the modern desert dwelling.
