Completion 3 / 2020
Specific Use of Building Residential
Project Location Palm Desert
Sustainability was optimized by siting the long wings of the plan along the East-West axis with fenestration on the North and well-shaded South, avoiding the heat and glare that accompany Eastern and Western glazing. Internally the surrounding Southern and Northern mountain views were highlighted by clearstories and without the heat and glare that accompanies typical eastern and western apertures.

While the design utilizes fully automated “smart” systems and achieves zero net energy, through photovoltaic panels and battery storage, it is the home's harmonious siting with the desert’s natural forces which allows seamless daily and seasonal patterns to embody every aspect of the clients’ life. The program's openness is balanced with large scale walls for the clients’ extensive art collection.

Selected finish materials lend warmth, texture and color to the home, complimenting and contrasting the homeowners’ high-rise living in the mid-west. The success of the home is the result of a collaborative and interactive process among the homeowners, interior designers, landscape architect, builder, and specialized trade contractors.
