Gary Patch and Darren Clark used mud, straw, and local cacti to return this incredible Arizona home to its original 1860s structure. This adobe showplace, filled with quirky treasures and artwork, takes the rustic look to a whole new level.

Skylights and Aztec prints warm up the cavernous living room.

A table made from Indonesian teak floorboards is the centerpiece of this dining room. A painting by Matt Cotten and an apple photograph by Adam Light line the walls.

Who wouldn't be productive in this study? Wall-to-wall bookcases add a contemporary touch.
Sunlight streams through ox-eye windows, filling the bathroom with light.
The water in this shower flows directly from the skylight onto a floor of loose Mexican beach pebbles.
