Hotel Gilbert
25 acres
Palm Desert California, Project 2003
Master plan and conceptual ideation for a large swath of undulating, urban desert land. The available parcels are turned into dimples or "a soft down pillow" to accomodate the requested program. A reimagining of the typical resort and vacation experience, we propose getting lost and found, low density villages, natural intrusions, chance encounters, lost weekends, hotels with no corridors, neighborhoods, imperfect perfection.
