The ultimate mid-century modern Palm Springs retreat designed by Donald Wexler in 1957. What you see today is a meticulous recreation of Wexler's original, stripped of unsightly additions. Working from his plans, the last owners restored its openness & clean lines, while upgrading the kitchen &bathrooms. They kept the white terrazzo floor that shimmers in the diffused sunlight & the mirrored closets that double the apparent size of the bedrooms at front & back. The warm tone of Douglas fir ceilings complements the white walls, and exposed joists create a strong sense of axiality. Luis Ortega furnished the interiors and outdoor living room to subtly enhance the architecture. Marcello Villano created a drought-resistant landscape in the stepped pool court to the south, & the tightly enclosed space to the north, where you are lulled by the cooling murmur of a fountain. Ficus hedges grow over the white-washed bricks and wooden spider-legs support a canopy over the walkway to the entrance.
