This unique house in Phoenix is a feat of geometry and engineering with its name coming from the main concrete support wall that is tilted five degrees and the rest of the house follows. This beautifully unique house is listed for $799,000.
The house is made of steel, concrete, and glass that allows scenic views of the city lights and mountain views. It is measured at 3,200 square feet with multiple skylights, a laundry room, three bedrooms, patios, three bathrooms and includes an air-conditioned workshop along with a maintenance-free desert landscape and a heated pool that can be turned into a lap pool.
It also boasts of the creative use of LED lighting to accent the architectural features. There are lights in the concrete floor that changes color and light both the floor inside the house and the patio ceiling below, making the ceiling look like stars in the night sky. There are lights emanating from both sides of the stairs as well.

From Mongolian yurts to cookie-cutter tract houses to treehouses to tiny houses to a plethora of mega-mansions dripping in excess, houses come in as many shapes and sizes as the people who choose to live in them. Rarely does a residential structure actually surprise us with its uniqueness like the inspired Five-Degree Residence.
A true study in geometry and spatial volume, its name comes from the main concrete support wall being tilted five degrees from which the rest of the house plays out. Constructed of steel, concrete, and glass in a quiet North Phoenix neighborhood, walls of glass take in both city lights and mountain views.
Multiple skylights ensure sunlight and a close connection with the outdoors in every room, including the laundry room. Sized at 3,200 square feet, the house has three bedrooms – all with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to patios, three baths and includes an air-conditioned workshop along with a maintenance-free desert landscape and a heated pool that can be turned into a lap pool. A mountain preserve and hiking trails begin just across the street.
Most interesting and quite unique is the creative use of LED lighting to accent the most outstanding architectural features of the house. There are lights in the concrete floor that change the color that light both the floor inside the house and the patio ceiling below, making the ceiling look like stars in the night sky. There are lights emanating from both sides of the stairs as well as a tall light following the exterior five-degree slant to the structural wall.
