Cloud Chaser

Cloud chaser is a contemporary home in the foothills outside of Las Vegas. While it offers expansive views of the entire Las Vegas Valley, including the entire Vegas Strip, mountains, desert, and surrounding communities, there were several challenges to maximize these potential views. The entry to the residence is oriented and centered to frame the entire Strip through sliding glass doors and walls. Circulation was developed carefully around this entry moment; the visitor first encounters a meandering boulder path that takes them across the front yard, a gated courtyard complete with a specimen tree and water feature, and a floating trellis structure that frames an outdoor living space adjacent to the pool, capturing reflections from the Strip at night.
