Earll Residence

The Earll Residence in Phoenix, Arizona, is a 2010 addition and renovation designed by StudioROEDER for a 1950s home. The project began with a careful site assessment, leading to a new structure that extends the existing north gable and reinterprets the mid-century ranch typology commonly defined by a lean-to patio. Functioning as a bookend to the original house, the addition introduces junctions of natural light and air between new and old, responding to local climate conditions. A patinated steel exterior finish was chosen for its durability and as a nod to regional construction practices. The design organizes programs and openings to frame views of private gardens, patios, and play yards. A breezeway running east-west includes operable glazing at both ends, with the west side fully shaded and the largest north-facing opening maximizing daylight. A continuous slot skylight brings natural illumination to an interior wall of reclaimed barn siding, salvaged from an 1880s Midwest barn once located near the owner's childhood home. This material, wrapping a central utility core, anchors the interior and maintains visual and tactile connections throughout the addition and its adjacent patio.
