Description

Fort 137 by Daniel Joseph Chenin is a remarkable example of sustainable architecture. Set in a remote location west of Las Vegas, Nevada, this residence was designed to connect with its surroundings using locally-sourced materials whenever possible.

The building's open structure, divided into three levels, offers a unique blend of protection from the elements and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. This book provides an in-depth look at the conception and execution of this innovative design, featuring photographs by Stetson Ybarra, interviews with the architect, and detailed drawings.

With its striking presence in the tranquil landscape, Fort 137 is a masterpiece of modern architecture that pays homage to the forts built when the area was first settled. This publication offers a privileged glimpse into the creation of this remarkable structure, making it an essential read for anyone interested in architecture and sustainable design.
