dc.descriptionDetail of support beam for balcony on north facade; Lapham relocated to Palm Springs from Stamford CT at age 40 and began development of the Thunderbird Heights and Country Club area. This is a commercial building, with a mix of ground floor retail spaces and offices on the upper level. The parking lot in the rear is accessed through a large concrete framing device that wraps the entire facade. The facade is enlivened with areas of natural stone cladding, a metal screen acting as a brise-soleil, and external stairs treated as a decorative accent.
