Inside An Iconic Mid-century Home Designed for Pool and Cocktail Parties (House Tour)

[@TheLocalProject]

We hope you enjoyed exploring the incredible Palm Springs Residence by Steven Harris Architects. It's incredible to see how Steven Harris Architects has honoured the original 1956 Donald Wexler design while adding thoughtful, modern touches. This renovation truly captures the timeless elegance and open, light-filled essence of California living. For more of the latest and greatest in architecture and design, be sure to order a copy of Issue No. 16 of The Local Project now: thelocalproject.com.au/product/issue-16/

You’ll need to do another episode on the tribute to this home, that sits adjacent

[@janelte]

We are all so fortunate that someone who deeply understands and appreciates the design of this home now owns it and has kept what makes it so wonderful, resisting the urge to "stamp" it with his own mark. There is so much that is quietly impressive about the house but what stands out to me is the siting on the plot and the wonderful landscaping, that leads the eyes from the interiors through the foreground and into the extraordinary landscape beyond. A gem of a house and excellent, informative commentary from the owner. Thank you.

[@TheLocalProject]

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! It’s truly special when a home finds an owner who respects its original vision. We're glad you enjoyed the tour 🙌

[@rh_697]

He speaks so well - a true proud owner of something so great

[@jolynbranch1211]

As always, I’d like to see more of the home itself, not just the same clips over and over.

[@mandyvetholmes]

Floor plan would be nice too

[@nikolaninkov]

Then you'd see how bland and uninspired it is.

[@julierees8462]

One of my favourite homes. The views! The art! The landscaping! It's perfect.

[@deborahrombouts9958]

I agree with you - the word PERFECT, is such a perfect description.

[@norderiksson4533]

I had the privilege to tour this home a number of years ago. It is beyond special. Steven and his husband are deeply gracious. What a joy to get to relive a fond memory and to see the home continuing to be stewarded at a rare level of care.

[@cyberqueen777]

This house needs to be preserved and Heritage listed for future generations to enjoy, without any alterations. Lovely owner.

This captures the essence of Palm Springs. The view of the mountains is a must if you live there. I love this home. Thank you for sharing.

[@minipoopuu12340]

I love mid century modern homes they will never go outta style ❤❤

[@garygibson133]

Simply wonderful, this Wexler designed home is so very lucky to have owners like Steven and his partner...

[@nikkilogan7726]

It feels like an oasis in the middle of the desert. Stunning home with a great view. Thanks Local Project 😎

[@beategeibel66]

I think the homeowner and the house fit very well because he understands it.

A really beautifully shot and edited film - congrats to the film-maker/s - and wow, someone talented and educated who appreciates architectural history and authenticity and can articulate that appreciation in words. I live nearby and can’t wait to be invited to be sitting out at 1.00am after dinner!

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

That house is exquisite. REPEAT EXQUISITE!!!

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

AS a kid we would go to Palm Springs to visit my two aunts from Ohio who were snowbirds. We would stay in one of the old boutique hotels in old Palm Springs. I will never forget the memory of each morning looking at the stunning purple mountains with the sun shining on them with the gorgeous blue skies.....that made me fall in love with the Palm Springs area.

[@hammer22able]

Beautiful home and description as well!

[@PCGSIR]

well-described, very well articulated especially towards the very end with a punch.

[@mikegalvin9801]

This is quintessential Palm Springs.

[@KAISERSCHL8]

I think too often we now find ourselves wanting to create something that is profoundly individual - very powerful and also true, thanks for sharing!

Stunning house---what a treasure and how fortunate the owners live daily in this astounding environment

[@krellzon]

Wow what a home

[@davidhunternyc1]

Stunning. I'm trying to find fault and I'm stumped... and I'm one of those people where my best friend said to me, "I could be wearing the most beautiful cashmere sweater and all you'd see is the little hole in the back."

[@RobertBird333]

WOW - an absolutely spectacular example of classic Palm Springs mid-century modern architecture and design! Excellent video production, too!

[@TheLocalProject]

We're so glad you enjoyed this glimpse into classic Palm Springs mid-century modern-it’s truly an inspiring style!

[@CourtneyBishopPOA]

This is a gorgeous home. While it it not my style, as Steven said, the house is designed for the site and a particular lifestyle. I highly respect all the artists who contributed to this spectacular piece of art - the home, the showcasing of the home, etc.

[@agnesdesiderio4538]

CHIC!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

[@cassvanessa5]

Stunning on every level. A dream home !

[@thedorkiestman03]

Steven Harris is the architect I look up to. His projects are always mixed with something modern and old at the same time, perfect for Mid-Century vibes. I hope that there will be videos more about his projects.

[@loveDRAGONCON]

Flawless.

The home is beautiful, every angle of the home is striking, and the videography & editing is NEXT LEVEL! This is high level artistry.

Perfection.

[@oliverlondon5246]

Wow! Can I move in, please? After he said Kandinsky, you can’t unsee it. I assume the reason, why people don’t want to leave this place, is not only this fantastic house, but also has a lot to do with the hosts.

hell yeah. what a great project wonderfully narrated by Steven

[@dougcargill6730]

Wonder house and production. The house is actually in the Tamarisk Country Club in Rancho Mirage. The CC has some wonderful mid-century modern homes along the fairways.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Yes. Poor Rancho Mirage is always called Palm Springs in international media. Palm Springs houses of the 1950s period are nearly all on the street and not set quite in the landscape like this one.

The long covered passage to the door was a FLW staple. He designed these approaches so that you go through stages from being mostly outside, to mostly inside, creating a gradual transformation from outdoors to indoors once you reach the door.

He seems strangely fine with getting bombarded by golf balls regularly. Have met a few peeps who live next to a fairway. It's a nightmare. They move. This place is, somehow, rt in the middle of a few fairways? How is that even possible? So strange. Great house but the location is mind blowing

[@serbansaredwood]

Gorgeous house, but the artificially green monoculture grass of the golf course in the middle of a desert pains me

As much as the edit is very fun, fast paced, punchy. I hope this isn’t a new direction for you guys. I really love the serene, slow, and subtle edits of videos past. This doesn’t actually give you a lot of time to really look at the architecture and design.
