Located in the architecturally rich Twin Palms enclave of mid-century homes, this modern vacation rental in south Palm Springs flawlessly recreates the lifestyle and architectural history of mid-century California. Credited with redefining the landscape of Palm Springs, The George Alexander company and architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel initiated the city’s first major housing boom in the 1950’s, forever influencing its architectural evolution and identity.
Designated a historic modern classic, the owners have carefully preserved the look and character of the original design, enlisting a renovation team that worked closely with Mr. Krisel consulting his archives (housed at the Getty Museum) to restore the classic period detail. A masterpiece of environmental planning, the house was built in 1957 and the layout continues to be functional and relevant for today’s lifestyle with cool retro features such as the gabled butterfly roof lines and exposed concrete blocks, airy breezeways and clerestory windows seamlessly integrated with modern amenities. The living room is anchored by the stone fireplace and is set adjacent to the fully equipped kitchen and open dining area that seats six with amazing views of the San Jacinto mountains.
