5075 Calle La Vela
This property is not currently for sale or for rent.
The residence, a seminal work by Josias Joesler, is a study in material honesty and spatial clarity, responding directly to its desert context. The massing is deliberate, with thick adobe walls providing thermal mass, mitigating diurnal temperature shifts, while deep portals and loggias serve as transitional spaces, modulating light and shadow with precision. The architecture is composed of simple, monolithic volumes arranged with deliberate asymmetry, punctuated by recessed fenestrations that frame strategic desert vistas. The material palette is inherently local, emphasizing earthen walls, exposed timber vigas, and concrete floors, each chosen for its intrinsic ability to patina gracefully over time.
