| THE PALM VALLEY SCHOOL K-3 |
Rancho Mirage, CA | |
The
Art Office provided services for both campus master plan re-design
and conceptual design for a new lower school (K-3)
facility. The lower school complex was designed via a phasing program
to be built out over a 4 year span with 2 additional classrooms coming
on-line each year. To this end, two clear span bar buildings
were designed around a central corridor. These two buildings could
then accommodate the larger arts classrooms or be partitioned to create
a total of 4 classrooms. Both roofs were lifted on the outward edge
to take advantage of light and the amazing views available on-site.
A concrete block base was used to visually connect future buildings
and to contain bathrooms and mechanical and custodial closets, providing
light through integrated glass block. |
