William Cody, AIA designed this dramatic home located in the architectural enclave of Little Tuscany. The home is featured in the book ''Unseen Midcentury Desert Modern'' and has been included in several Modernism Week home tours. The design of the home harkens back to Cody's early work with architect Cliff May but features the transparency afforded by his signature large walls of glass windows throughout. The original leather covered front doors remain and elegant poured terrazzo floors flow throughout the house to connect the interior to the exterior by extending out to several patios and on to the magnificent pool deck. Inside, the interior retains the original warm walnut walls and cabinets as well as the original concealable avocado green bar. Updates to the kitchen and baths blend in elegantly. The large sliding glass doors and floor to ceiling windows seamlessly connect with the beautiful landscape outside as only Cody could do. The nearly half acre lot has a mesmerizing mountain view. The house flows effortlessly as a grand entertaining space while maintaining the intimacy of a relaxing retreat. Truly a pillar in the pantheon of Palm Springs's architectural heritage.
