Platform for Architecture Unveils New Plans for Desert Development
The folks from Platform for Architecture have devised plans for a 15-acre eco development just outside Palm Springs in the Mojave Desert that will see up to 18 individual units built.
Everything about the units is designed with the arid desert terrain in mind: Platform for Architecture has incorporated solar roofs and other amazing green innovations. These homes are among the first to be built in the area, so more will likely follow depending on their success.
