Malapai Tower House
Deep within the largest contiguous Ponderosa pine forest in the world, and perched over a mile above sea level, a small clearing unfolds, scattered with volcanic rock.

The water feature in the atrium adds the sound of flowing water to the living rooms and is visible from almost everywhere in the living and kitchen areas. The kitchen forms the hub of the home with an open space that is ideal for gatherings. Situated next to the kitchen is the breakfast room and atrium that allows morning light i... More
