This home, designed for developer Chuck Struthers, was one of those projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">Preparing these working drawings provided invaluable early experience in translating an architect&#8217;s design into a complete set of permit and construction documents. It was during projects such as this that I developed many of the technical drafting, detailing, and coordination skills that would later become the foundation of my own residential design practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">The photographs shown here were obtained from a recent MLS listing and illustrate how beautifully the home has been maintained nearly five decades after its original construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:22px\">Should I be able to locate copies of the original construction drawings from the City of Indian Wells archives, I hope to add selected drawing sheets to this page as additional historical documentation of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull
