Volcanic terrain informs design of Noir Peaks house by The Ranch Mine

US architecture studio The Ranch Mine has completed a holiday home in northern Arizona consisting of black, gabled forms that "burst vertically from the ground".
Rising up from a grassy, high-altitude plateau, the Noir Peaks house is located in the northern Arizona town of Flagstaff, known for its mountains, aspen stands and pine forests.
The area sits within a vast volcanic field, where the last eruption occurred about 1,000 years ago.
