The Henkel Artist Lofts represent three highly efficient single family houses in an up and coming Lost Barrio neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona. Located immediately south of the University of Arizona, the two story freestanding lofts represent an ideal approach to spatial and thermal efficiency built within the existing city infrastructure.

High ceilings and abundant 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.
