Situated against the shear red cliffs of the north side of Camelback Mountain, a composition of two elemental volumes generated out of a square 48’ footprint emerge from an island of slick-rock which is known as the Camel Head.  The public volume floats horizontally on an existing foundation and protrudes off the eastern edge of the proximate cliff; the private volume, to the west, rises as a vertical cantilever from an existing basement rooted deep in the slick-rock.  Separating the two, a vertical 3” slot of light empties into the space under the public volume creating the entry space.  Volumes are clad in 4’ x 8’ floating panels of mill finish steel plate, in horizontal and vertical orientation, both solid and perforated and stretcher leveled from a standard 4’ coil, delivered to site and craned into place with ‘blind set’ machined blocks of solid steel.  The natural ‘black/brown’ color of the simple steel cubic form will recede into the north shadows of this portion of Camelback Mountain preserving the omnipresence of the ‘red slick-rock promontory’ from Stone Canyon trails and vehicular approach from below.
