Desert Modernism

The home’s design employs some of the best features of desert modernism, an aesthetic that embraces the desert environment, and uses low, sleek lines that make buildings blend in with the scenery, while featuring open interiors that keep that airy desert feeling.

Making the most of its unique setting, “the house sits gently on its sloping site, anchored to the hill by the garage on the mountain-facing side yet floating above the land on the side that faces the valley,” AD reports.

An Elevated View

As not to disrupt the natural setting, the house is slightly elevated to sit above the arroyos that have been on the site for thousands of years. Keeping the terrain intact was a key consideration for the design team.

Stepping away from the traditional mid-century design that’s most commonly associated with Palm Springs homes, patinated brass panels and floor-to-ceiling glass walls line the exterior of the house.

Stunning views and glass walls

A glass-enclosed bridge connects two wings of the home and creates a central atrium that can be viewed from nearly every room.

The glass walls offer stunning views of the desert in all directions, with large sliding glass doors running the entire length of the great room, providing a seamless transition to the outdoor amenities, which include a dining area, deck, pool, spa, fireplace and lounge.
