Modern Desert Home
By DIY MavenThis home in Pioneertown, CA was designed by architect Lloyd Russell. His customer wanted something simple. The 'ultimate desert structure' is made with recycled materials and features its own canopy that not only provides shade and shelter, it creates a passive cooling method too.
The kitchen features a garage door, which opens the structure up to the world.

I used to live on a reservation in AZ and there were lots of homes, mostly standard western housing but sometimes mobile homes, with this sort of "double roof" feature. I have no idea why it isn't used more often in hot climates. It works.
