1479 W Baffert Place, Nogales, AZ 85621

Nestled in the Meadow Hills neighborhood, this home was designed by Bennie Gonzales, FAIA, in 1963 and stands as an extraordinary example of his ability to adapt traditional Southwestern forms & massing for modern living. A native of Arizona, Gonzales earned international acclaim for merging Arizona regionalism with modernism, always attuned to the cultural context, materiality, and climate of the region. Situated on a private 1.75-acre lot and in original condition, this residence is thoughtfully designed around several courtyards, incorporating shaded patios and expansive glass doors and windows that frame views, while being mindful of solar orientation. The entryway, set back from the street among dense foliage, leads to an inviting courtyard and a light-filled foyer.
