Hill and home should live together each the happier for the other. The multiple facets of its hipped roofs appear to follow the contours of the landscape, and Wright chose to build with limestone and other materials native to the area. Wright subsequently rebuilt the structure, and it was incorporated into a larger estate that is now open to the public.

Similar to his other projects, Wright takes special interest in locally available materials and applies them in similar fashion to his other Prairie Style projects, employing low level, horizontal planes that keep the house and studio low to the ground to insure effective natural ventilation and protection and shade from the intense desert sun.
When the main portion of the house and studio were completed by the apprentices, the different spaces of the house for Wright and his wife, the apprentices, and the gathering spaces were all organized to maintain a certain sense of privacy within, but a formal compositional balance with the landscape. Taliesin West is less of a singular building as it is a series of spaces that are connected through terraces, gardens, and pools.
Similar to all of Wrights projects, every aspect of design and detail of the project was given particular attention by Wright. Beside the close attention to the arid desert climate, Wright implemented local and site provided materials for the construction of the house and foundation.
Through the use of redwood formwork, the flat faces of the stones were faced outwards and the space in between the stones were combined with a concrete mix that make up the larger stone walls and structural elements of the house.
