Mews

With the clients love of all things mid-century, inspiration was sparked by the clients prized & iconic Slim Aarons ‘Poolside Gossip’ print. In the background Richard Neutra’s masterpiece, the Kaufmann House, sits against the silhouette of the purple mountains of Palm Springs.

Wanting to maximise light to the south facing courtyard elevation, we used pale grey metal fins in front of the 3 metre high glazing, which twist gently, to create privacy to the master ensuite, and provide solar shading, along with the overhang to the ground floor. A bespoke solution to allow the fins to ope with the window for escape was modelled 1:1 prior to fabrication.

This 3 storey new build, including basement, feels spacious and bright. The front elevation cantilevers out at first floor level, to provide for the generous accommodation and maintains space for private parking. The mews house has 3 bedrooms and a spacious open plan kitchen living dining filled with mid century details and has a soft materiality with exposed lime mortared brickwork and oak throughout.
