archatlas: Mexican Water Cabins DesignBuildBLUFF The Mexican Water Chapter of the Navajo Nation partnered with Design Build BLUFF (and University of Colorado Students) to construct two rentable cabins; with the idea that tourism dollars otherwise lost outside the boundaries of the reservation could rather stay and help encourage the local economy. Influenced by the landscape and distant views of the Blue Mountains and Monument Valley, the design led to the development of two “sibling” cubes. One rests on the landscape while the other emerges from it. Images and text via DesignBuildBLUFF
