http://news.architecture.sk/2011/02/desert-house.php







 Architecture studio called Platform for Architecture + Research has created this unique residence. Their main aim was not to disturb geological structure, they built the building taking advantage of natural topography and created a compact building. While designing the layout, they took into account local climate conditions. The project is situated on a 15 acres parcel located just few kilometers away from Palm Spring, California. This area offers 18 unique parcels with 18 villas provided with a discrete access. The villa provides a complete privacy thanks to its location, at the same time the local climate provides enough of fresh air. Architects minimized ecological consequences while keeping all conditions of the client. A number of sustainable strategies were used as: photovoltaic panels, natural air-conditioning, layout, form or orientation of the building.
