Casa Luce 是对位于卡塔利娜山麓的一座20世纪中期现代主义住宅的大规模翻新工程。该住宅最初由图森现代主义建筑师 Tom Gist 设计并建造，以其标志性的烧制土坯墙体支撑低矮屋檐为特征。尽管这座建于20世纪60年代的住宅具有鲜明的建筑特色，但仍亟需全面更新。本次改造的目标是重新定义住宅的本质——la essenza。

Casa Luce is an extensive renovation of a mid-century modern home in the Catalina foothills. Originally designed and built by Tucson modernist Tom Gist, and characterized by Gist's trademark earthen walls of burnt adobe supporting a low-slung roof, the 1960's home was nevertheless in need of a significant update. The goal of the redesign was to redefine the essence of the home — la essenza.
