Here we have a resort and spa in the desert of Canyon Point, UT. From the begging it looks as if Rick Joy, the architect, designed the building around the location’s surroundings. I think the “adobe” feel works well because the color of the building practically blends into the mountain in the background. Also from looking at the pictures of the inside, Joy captured the true meaning of a resort/spa.

The intended purpose is to be able to completely relax and forget about all that’s going on in the world. What better way to execute this purpose than to be excluded all alone in a dessert with nothing around you?
