Architecture Design of Eldorado Tres House

Description About The Project

Eldorado Tres House designed by o2 Architecture is a stunning house with impressive site plan. Observed from above, this house consists of two back – to-back crescent moons — one facing South, welcome the winter sun and panorama of the rugged foothills, and the other facing North onto the 17th fairway.

Indeed, the existing 50 – year – old home had a striking circular living room but then the plan became highly segregated and inward – focused. This inward – focused segregation of space was incompatible with today’s informal country club living, seamless indoor – outdoor flow, and multi – generational activities. Besides, the pool and outdoor living – located on the fairway adjacent North side – were in the home’s winter shadow and unresponsive to the Southern sun and the panoramic view of Mt. Eisenhower. Still fascinated and inspired by the home’s original circular living room, we set out to demolish the existing structure and let the new design be informed by the original curving geometry.

Moreover, the planning logic of the double crescent site and floor plan made immediately clear upon arrival into the foyer located in the void between the two crescents. From this crucial core, views open onto 4-distinct zones. To the North, the 17th fairway viewed through a wall of glass past the family/ media room. Besides, to the East is a passive palm oasis reminiscent of the distinct natural palm clusters indigenous to the canyons surrounding the Coachella Valley. The South reveals the great room and expansive window wall with the private pool and yard framing Mt. Eisenhower. Finally, the west backs onto the cluster of palm trees aligning the pathway to the front entrance.

On the other hand, the intentionality of the long promenade leading to the entry door galvanized by the desire to preserve a 50-year-old olive tree at the very front of the property. Majestic and peaceful in nature, the olive tree sets the tone for the journey along the curving pathway. And through the monochromatic poetry of the materials until it progressively reveals the entry door beyond.

Text by the Architects: As many Coachella Valley country clubs built around a golf lifestyle approach their sixth decade, their homeowners increasingly face a common conundrum: what to do with an existing older home–one built with long-gone sensibilities and lifestyle aspirations. This was the design challenge we faced.
