High Desert Protocol pairs a turquoise steel arch with an 80 foot swimming pool in Yucca Valley. The arch is part of Tao Ruspoli's desert compound, where the operator describes it as a multipurpose event space and recording studio with a bathroom. Architect Anna Meloyan designed the custom end walls. Their large openings and plywood interior finish give the industrial shell a distinct character. The booking is for the compound; the pavilion is one of its shared spaces.

Supplier scope

SteelMaster supplied the Q-Model arch shell. A local contractor erected it, and the end walls and interior were designed and finished for this site. Read the SteelMaster Buildings profile.

Design takeaway

The end wall design, color and pool placement transform a standard arch shell into the focal point of a larger property.
