The Dos Pedros Lofts represent five highly efficient single family houses in the historic Barrio Viejo neighborhood in Tucson Arizona. Located immediately south of the University of Arizona, the two-story freestanding lofts with enclosed entrance courtyards represent an ideal approach of spatial and thermal efficiency built within the existing city infrastructure.
High ceilings and large windows emphasize light and space with a plan that wraps around an intimate courtyard area. Views to the north from the upper floor capture the magnificent Catalina Mountains while lower windows and sliding glass doors look into private landscaped areas. Highly insulated Rastra walls, water harvesting tanks and dual pane, low-e glass make the units energy efficient and environmentally conscious.
