The Six: Courtyard Houses by Ibarra Rosano Design Architects:
“In our desert town, plagued by sprawl and lacking in public transportation, The Six is a project comprised of six courtyard
houses that demonstrates the possibilities for higher density, urban infill desert development that is respectful of its time and
place.
While the Six takes cues from Tucson’s architectural past and neighboring residences, which manifest as central courtyards,
low-rise masonry construction, and thoughtful solar orientation, the project is an emphatic expression of its place and time.
The Courtyard is a traditional concept employed in hot arid regions because it takes advantage of cool desert nights by
affording the house the ability to open into a secure and private space. Each house’s primary spaces expand onto the central

courtyard, while the more intimate bathing areas extend into private landscaped light wells.
This interconnectedness of indoor and outdoor space is a consistent trademark of the development. In the hallway, gluelaminated wood beams were crafted to form a dramatic window seat overlooking the courtyard. The master bedroom shares
access to the large outdoor “room” while the master bath and guest baths look onto small private outdoors spaces, giving one
the sensation of bathing outdoors. Directly above the expansive kitchen island, the ceiling dramatically rises to provide a
demarcation for the cooking area, and allow clerestory windows to provide balanced south and north light into the voluminous
dining and living areas.
The magic comes from the manipulation of the human experience, not the form. We feel that timelessness is attained when every
decision is based on something important and when the space is given as much consideration as the object.
Cost of Construction: approx. $130/sqft
Phase 1-2: 2,297 sf (each of four houses)
Phase 3: 2360 sf + 438 sf studio (each of two houses)”
