Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio

Rosa Parks is a mix of contemporary and mid-century modernism with desert-scapes design features. This project offers energy efficient, multi-family housing in Coachella Valley, and incorporates 57 units of multi-family housing for Palm Springs residents. The building is comprised of one and two story walk-ups with both outdoor and indoor recreation areas. The layout provides ease of circulation around the outdoor public recreational spaces which include a tree garden, rock garden, tot lot, basketball court and swimming pool area. A community room and computer room are provided as indoor recreation spaces. Teaming up with the Coachella Valley Coalition, all units will be restricted to low and very low-income residents. The overall building and materials are 20% above the CA Title 24 energy standards. Pugh + Scarpa project.
