Desert-Nestled Home Studios

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ryan Leidner Architecture Designed the High Desert Home

— January 3, 2025 — Art & Design
Ryan Leidner Architects is a design studio based in San Francisco and it has created the High Desert home, which is a wood-and-stucco house and art studio. The residence is based in southern California and it is inspired by mid-century Eichler homes with influences of southwestern art. The home is designed for painter Heather Day and her partner Chase McBride.

The founder of the studio, Ryan Leidner shared with Dezeen, "[We sought to] respect the landscape with the design of the house, maintaining a compact footprint while still enjoying the sense of expansiveness one feels in the desert. In order to get to the property you drive several miles down an unpaved, sandy road through the desert, seeing the occasional home or trailer along the way. And then you take a final turn, and the house begins to emerge from behind a rock outcropping, and what you see is this white line in the landscape, and it feels just so surprising, and I think beautiful."
