Project Location: Desert Hot Springs, CA Client: Palm Springs School District Completion Date: 2002- Phase 1 Estimated Construction Cost: $9,000,000 |

| The challenge
of Julius Corsini was incorporating modular buildings into the current
campus site which consisted of rescued pieces from the district’s previous continuation school, while providing the campus with its own feeling of ‘ belonging’. The design concept behind the new campus proposes the use of simple and pure volumes, such as cubes or boxes to complement the pre-fabricated, modular classrooms placement, alongside the delicately detailed custom pieces such as the elevator and stair towers. These vertical elements also closely
balance the horizontal line of the buildings as well as the natural
horizon of the surrounding landscape. In addition the vertical stair
and elevator towers create focal points across the campus for each
new phase of construction thus relating various campus buildings
to each other. |
