Woods Residence, Cave Creek, Arizona, 1950
Architect: Soleri & Mills
In the 1940s Paolo Soleri and Mark Mills were apprentices of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the first house they did after leaving Wright's Taliesen West incorporated the master's use of natural stone. With a domed bedroom ceiling on tracks that allowed the whole structure to open and close, the house was also an early example of passive heating and cooling.
