Palm Springs Mid-century Modern

Palm Springs Mid-century Modern

The American Dream as seen through this collection of unique mid-century Palm Springs homes

Mid-century modern architecture is clustered, perhaps, in its highest concentration in Palm Springs, California. The desert environment and Hollywood stars inspired architects of the day to creative residential heights, including Donald Wexler, E. Stewart Williams, William Krisel, Albert Frey, William F. Cody, and Richard Neutra. See the Frey House II, Kaufmann House, "House of Tomorrow," and many more.

Through 178 stunning color and black and white photographs, the unique homes they built are captured here, showcasing their distinctive architectural features, including carports, stone and perforated walls, chalet entrances, extra large driveways, walls of glass, indoor/outdoor spaces, deep overhangs and peaked, butterfly, and L-shaped roofs.

For all who are passionate about architecture, this book will be a treasure.
