The houses in Paul's post are more attractive as objects in the Sonoran Desert to my eye than the house in peter's post. The Wrightian connection seems more related to environmentally sensitive design rather than superficial "styling". Given a brighter, higher chroma palette, the blocky forms and deep shadows of the houses in Paul's post would be reminiscent of Luis Barragan's work, not at all inappropriate for AZ.
The very first house (tan colored stucco, shown after the Grady Gammage auditorium) in Paul's video post looks nice, almost Schindleresque from the 30s, but the next one seems awkward. Are there several different designers involved? https://is.gd/EZ9Ka7
