Palm Springs Remodel Southwest Architecture
Home Located In Palm Springs - The original structure was a small 1940's plastered home with the typical pitched asphalt roof. 

03/19/2010

For our Clients and Community

This home remodel is constructed out of Rastra  insulated block (double) wall creating a minimum of 20" thick insulated wall mass with steel truss ceiling/roof.   We completed the home in the year of 1999, some 11 years ago.

We are currently designing a new home next door using the same construction material and southwest design. We will publish the project as it becomes available. The new home design is spectacular. Below are recent  pictures of our 11 year old remodel after the landscaping matured. This design took advantage of the site inside/outside relationships.

These Rastra walls have a insulating R value of 48.  Most new homes these days only have a wall insulating value of 19, and that only occurs between the studs.  Rastra has no studs. The insulation value is un-interrupted. The exterior walls are concrete plaster over a composite poly/concrete foam giving substantial enhanced thermal value (like what is found in old Adobe walled homes. So you get the best of both worlds - thermal mass plus very high insulation values.  

As we say here....Just do it.  But we also always "do it" right the first time. 

We will post the next new spectacular home pictures that we are currently designing soon after it is built. We are excited!

Take care.
