CONCEPT STATEMENT This project was designed with inspiration taken from the colors, light, and playfulness of kaleidoscopes. Palm springs has a vibrant night life and being a place with ample daylight, using it to the design’s advantage to reach the projects goals was very intentional. Inspiration was drawn from the geometry and color that comes from the nature of the structure of the object. Oen comprised of colored glass and a natural wood exterior, similar elements were pulled into the design of this firm. Comparable juxtaposing curves and geometric shapes are highlighted through the use of curved walls and strong grounding elements in the space. Lastly, color is introduced through the use of materials in fabric, paint, and even some acrylic partitions to divide the space.

These sketches show initial brainstorming done thinking about how the space would be divided. The curved lines were carried on into the final design as well as the inset curtain wall on the southwest corner of the building. The curved line in the top sketch is also reflected in the roof line shown in the site plan.
This south view of the building displays the generous use of windows to allow ample sunlight to enter into the space-- taking advantage of the Palm Springs sunshine.
