Desert Villa

Type: Single Family Home

Location: Palm Desert

Size: 1,600 sq ft.

Located in Palm Desert, California, this home offers a retreat for the owners from the busy city life. The minimal palette of concrete and wood wraps throughout the inside and outside of the house. An interior courtyard connects the living room and kitchen below to the two-bedrooms located on the second level. Microclimatic thermal strategies are applied to cool the building during the day time. The central courtyard and the use of concrete as a thermal mass aids in lowering the house’s indoor temperature.

The house offers views for the homeowners to soak in the stunning outdoors of Palm Desert.
