ECHO Development Brochure - June 10 - Option 1

Sean Lockyer | Studio AR&D

Come home to a calm, soothing sense of restfulness – that indescribable feeling of belonging.

This is Echo.

A tempered echo from the past projected onto the incredible future of desert architecture.

A grove of old-growth olive trees, each one an ancient symbol of peace and friendship.

A meandering street laid by hand in stormy/dovetail/charcoal gray paver stones.

And an overwhelmingly timeless ambiance unlike any other residential experience in the Coachella Valley.

Past the gates, this nine-residence enclave unfolds in long, clean lines, time-honored natural textures, and highly original forms. Contemporary thoughts in the field of architecture combine with traditional materials and construction methods in a fresh, new “bold world architecture� built to be savored without categorization. Echo confidently exemplifies the next generation of superior/classic architecture for the fashion-forward desert lifestyle.

Behind this exclusive Rancho Mirage community is a small group with a significant vision: enduring architecture, modern appeal. This collection of 3-bedroom homes that range from 3,500 to 4,100 square feet is the result of many inspired ideas finely distilled into a singular destination.

Echo represents a family lineage of site planning and development, a commitment to enhancing the greater Palm Springs region, and one of the most talented architects to practice in the desert today. Together, these elements blur the lines of a rich architectural past and contemporary design in a way as yet unseen.

The Residences A culmination of natural materials, timeless architecture, and a contemporary connection between indoors and out.

Echo’s “bold world architecture” becomes one with its rugged yet majestic desert surroundings.

Flooring flows from interior to exterior and out into the landscape creating a striking interaction between home and nature. Native flora edges up to the living areas to further join the two.

Mountainous panoramas are framed by expansive walls of glass in the spacious great room and master bedroom, engaging the distant vista as well as the near. In a clean, crisp design technique, walls continue from the indoor spaces to the outdoors in one, long beautiful sightline.

When the glass slides away and the home is

opened up, the indoor-outdoor relationship is complete. This Zen-like approach allows homeowners and their guests, in tandem with the furnishings and the landscape, to act as dynamic décor within the built environment.

Commanding exteriors are defined by substantial stone masonry walls, while a softening of the interior palette sets the tone for rest and retreat.

As one approaches, an exposed aggregate concrete driveway meets the rustic paver stone street. Slumpstone block perimeter walls speak to/ conjure the Italian countryside, complemented by old-growth olives trees, boulders, and natural rock outcroppings.

Harmony in Balance Throughout the home, a warm palette of natural materials, presented in their raw textures, juxtaposes sleek, contemporary finishes. Cut stone accent walls, smooth and textured stucco in neutral hues, glass, black steel, concrete, white oak, and other natural woods have been curated in a serene visual interplay. The overall effect is simple and monotone, clean and unadorned, organic yet refined.

Harmony in balance.

Modern style and amenities are integrated, from indirect skylights to bathe the walls in natural light to intuitive separations of space. Hardwood and large-format concrete floors pair with Fleetwood doors and windows, inviting a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. European-style touches in the kitchens and bathrooms include Thermador appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerators, marble countertops, matte black fixtures, and contemporary lighting.

The Architect Sean Lockyer | Studio AR&D Sean Lockyer brings an authentic aesthetic to Echo and a genuine perspective with regards to its architecture and design. His diverse portfolio of award-winning work spans private estates to public spaces.
