Overview

The Montello Foundation is creating a residency program for contemporary artists in the desert of northeast Nevada. The program offers each artist the privilege of solitary residence in the barren desert landscape for a brief period to reflect on the natural surroundings and to create new work in this serene and harsh environment.

The project is a small complex that provides simultaneous immersion and protection from the extreme landscape. A small elevated workshop provides an observation deck and work space, while a larger living complex consisting of small enclosed sleeping quarters and a surrounding quasi-outdoor area provide the basis for the isolated residence.
