“Producing inner images is a natural process common to everyone. It is part of thinking. Associative, wild, free, ordered, and systematic thinking in images, in architectural, spatial, colorful, and sensuos pictures- this is my favorite definition of design.�
- PETER ZUMTHOR / THINKING ARCHITECTURE

This project sets out to design a transitional public space within the Barrio libre of Tuscon, AZ. The area is home to many at-risk youth, and the colmena sets out to provide a comfortable space for youth to gather, explore, and expand their knowledge.

_courtyard spaces
the program is split by heavy rammed earth walls. the walls orient views towards downtown phoenix and camelback mounatin to the north
the desert landscape is brought into the home through various courtyards and gardens to create an open, inside-out feel to the home. the courtyards also act as vertical connection points
a main volume with private spaces is lifted above the social programs of the home, while capturing the views located around the site.
