This is easily one of the best houses this channel has showcased. I love the 70s 'mustard vibes' that they've revamped for modern audiences

[@bargdaffy1535]

It was 117 in Palm Springs today, with Poor Air Quality. Enjoy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@leoloveslemon]

As a former resident of Palm Springs, interrior designer of two decades and a present UIUC architect student in grad school, I truly take my hat off to this design. It is spectaculor!

[@that1thickpugg738]

I watch The Local Project because I know they always have something unique and new in store. Things like this really spark my inspiration and I love it.

[@TheLocalProject]

😇

[@TechTokeMaster]

This is a jaw-dropping house! Not only is it gorgeous on the inside but that backyard is to die for! Literally looks like a picture from a movie. Just stunning!

[@santi7085]

besides the incredible design of the house; the photography, music choice, and storytelling, are just amazing

[@TheLocalProject]

Glad you like it!

[@cbrad-eo6nt]

Gorgeous home. Definitely the best one shot here in the US so far because, not surprisingly, it has many styling cues similar to NZ/AU contemporary architecture.

[@Max_Gao]

Wow, absolutely amazing. What an open space with great features and a lovely light feel.

[@Studio93013]

WOW. AMAZING! So thoughtfully designed and absolutely breathtaking. Many fantastic features that work together beautifully. I particularly like the unique canopy that creates dappled sunlight -- which gives a feeling of nature to an angular, contemporary structure.

[@brianmoto427]

As a SoCal native this one really hits home. This is a remarkable work of architecture, and beautifully captured here. It's been great to watch the subscriber count for this channel grow, and deservedly so. Love these videos, keep it up!

[@TheLocalProject]

Glad you enjoyed it Brian!

[@lorenwil]

WOW! Everything about this - every detail - is so well-articulated, yet subtle. Wow. It's hard to choose one standout feature, but for me, it's the dappled-light canopies.

[@Ppeepty]

This one takes the crown, definitely the best I've seen.

[@iahorvath]

Stunning home. It is very modern but at the same time, warm in its colours and finishes and inviting in its layout. Your philosophy reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright, who also designed his buildings and everything that went into them. Just beautiful. Bravo!

[@TheLocalProject]

Glad you like it!

[@charlieb7728]

It's interesting seeing the ways that American and Australian architecture differ. Not that this property is trying to be gaudy but the absolute excess is such a contrast to the more subtly humble videos from Australian architecture on this channel.

[@alex.unlisted]

I hear your point, but the architects themselves mention that this was luxury design. So though I think there’s truth to your statement by even their standards, this is not standard design.

[@AB-ol5uz]

alot of what adds value to the Australian homes featured on this channel are their stunning settings...this one clearly has a beautiful setting but the home itself would stand out regardless of where it was in the world - and that says alot about who sophisticated the design is....and the overall screen that shelters them from the sun is genuis. The glare and extreme temps are not something to joke about there so it's great that they were able to create so many indoor/outdoor experiences that are actually usable in that climate.

[@nickb-]

I tend to agree. It's in no way a vulgar house, but the sheer scale (and budget) of it would be very, very rare in Australia. A good comparison is the Shaun Lockyer Mosman house featured on a previous Local Project. It has been called "the best house in Mosman" but it is positively modest in scale compared with this hotel-like residence.

[@dattmougherty_5392]

has nothing to do with American vs Australian - you can find plenty of ultra-minimalist architects in the US

[@davecahyo]

It's near the Coachella so I think it explains everything. More likely this property will be rented as expensive AirBnB

[@deboraperes3826]

This is absolutely fantastic. I got chill all over! When they showed the mesh curtain, I audibly gasped. Such a great use of materials and colour. Stunning.

[@TheLocalProject]

So glad!

[@Sailingbill1]

This has to be one of the most interesting and well balanced projects presented. The light through out the day and how it comes through the roof is art in itself. As someone who stays in Boutique Hotels around the world you are spot on! I love most everything about the project! What time does the party start and what can I bring…? ;-) Nicely done guys!!!

[@cimmiecimmie5142]

palm spring houses never dissapoints!

[@mikama-w3r]

This is a true masterpiece.

[@tobias-hastings]

Fantastic property. It feels like a luxury hotel or getaway while also feeling like a home; somewhere you never truly want to leave.

[@fredsalfa]

That is a beautiful house so subtle yet distinctive and relaxed.

[@andrebax1]

That is one of the most impressive and functional houses I have ever ever seen. Well done.

[@brandonsimmons2414]

This house is absolutely spectacular! One of the best designs I’ve seen… kudos to the architects!!!

[@nikolaigomez2318]

Wow exquisite work bringing together space light texture details functionally luxury.

[@raeedali5691]

This house took my breath away! Hands down one of the best designs I have ever seen

[@TheLocalProject]

Glad you like it!

[@davidlabarr]

Unbelievably cool. Literally my favorite or second favorite house I’ve ever seen on KZbin.

[@TheLocalProject]

Wow, thanks!

[@nikkilogan7726]

This is an ultra-mega home in the middle of the desert. Really love the design & space of this home! So magnificent! Thanks Local Project

[@Krissie5066]

Thanks!

[@TheLocalProject]

😇

[@sealswimswim354]

The forest canopy style dappled light is dreamy.

[@ianwilsongardendesign2236]

Excellent job - looks amazing with some inspirational ideas like the oculus and the canopy that offers filtered light/shade and movement throughout the day.

[@LifeofWalk]

This modern house located in Palm Springs is an absolute masterpiece! The design seamlessly blends the best of a luxurious boutique hotel with the comfort and functionality of a home. Every detail, from the sleek architecture to the thoughtfully curated interiors, exudes sophistication and style. It's refreshing to see a space that embraces both form and function, creating a truly immersive and inviting atmosphere. Kudos to the talented architects and designers who brought this vision to life. This house is an inspiration for anyone seeking a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and ultimate relaxation.

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

This has to be one of my most favorite homes ever. What a jewel. Thank you for sharing. ♡♡♡

[@TheLocalProject]

You are so welcome!

[@drg6161]

This is one of the most bonkers projects I've ever seen in one of these videos. Well done to these gentlemen for creating this. This is truly exceptional

[@darien33]

Lujosa y práctica para el uso que se le da. Es un buen trabajo. Enhorabuena¡¡¡. Gracias por la magnífica realización y por permitir que las interesantes explicaciones se escuchen bien.

[@jillbarry7727]

Work of art

[@susannahallanic1167]

I 💘 this 100,000 times.

[@SurfMastery-kz6je]

best house I've ever seen. period.

[@panayottomov4791]

The video captured some magic

[@davidwise9487]

Incredible house! Designed with open space and light! Palm Springs is the playground of the rich! Frank Sinatra,Bob Hope , etc. loved it there! This place is beautiful,dynamic,yet inviting! Architectural Digest must have put it on the front page. Kudos to the designers and architects…

[@Brian-os9qj]

An inspiring locale & structure that is multi dimensional like a transformer, with limitless possibilities.

[@Гульнара-ш7к]

Прекрасная работа архитектора и дизайнера это тот случай когда в проект вложили душу спасибо получила огромное удовольствие

[@Ghost19_]

I really, really thought from the intro til around a minute that this is a 3D model view. Man.. The overall area and visual looks surreal.

[@lezliejean1997]

I love that light shed. ❤

[@odd7646]

I'm obsessed

[@TheLocalProject]

Us too..!

[@mistermaster6882]

This is one of my favorite properties I’ve ever seen tbh

[@TheLocalProject]

Isn’t it phenomenal!

[@robschuler1046]

Stunning home. Truly beautiful

[@TheLocalProject]

It really is!

[@erickcorrales5715]

[@ModernARQ]

I absolutely love it!

[@KeyNatraMusic]

Oh My God what a house!!!! Unbelievable!!!

[@mulemule]

Fun, functional and beautiful.

[@TheLocalProject]

We agree!

[@Normally_aspirated]

I have not been floored by a property like this in a very long time

[@hamletwong5820]

This is everything. So well done.

[@omdeeppabla6111]

Beautiful work

[@krisztinarozsos710]

Stunning house 😍

[@wandilemthembu]

Stunning!

[@G-RAMIREZ]

Beautiful.

[@TheLocalProject]

Very!

[@AlianaRegos]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

[@homewithjamila]

Absolutely stunning ✨

[@ashtonkoontzz]

My actual dream home

[@user-rw7xd7qy3j]

Beautiful. What type of shade material did you use for that incredible light filter to provide shade outside but still allow some light to come in?

[@pihermoso11]

I'm guessing it has to be aluminium or copper panel, laser cut and then put into frames, if steel is used the problem would be rusting and corrosion, aluminium and copper would be the better choice to prevent corrosion and rust

[@user-rw7xd7qy3j]

@@pihermoso11 thanks. I live in the desert as well and the sun and wind destroys just about everything. So I'd love to do something like that also.

[@wavewithvayu]

Amazing

[@louishope7656]

this feels like a house from a parallel universe

[@lezliejean1997]

I agree

[@stargazer5073]

gorgeous

[@minniesaab7255]

Beautiful place to be ❤

[@Tonydondana]

Beautiful

[@vladislavturetchii8650]

Incredible!!! What is the material of the light filter canopy? Looks like a sponge 😅. But the shade pattern is stunning 🤩

[@timothywong]

Can we talk about that awesome canopy? What material is that?

[@belliabah2148]

Beautiful amazing

[@genesiaamorbeltran6741]

It's like Edna's zen version of her house from the movie 'the incredibles'

[@tanmaybarve271]

This chanel has grown on me

[@TheLocalProject]

🥰

[@elizabethcommandeur4093]

Exquisite. ❤

[@roy667]

Dream house ✨

[@coapa_760]

to think we grew up right next to this, scraping by :p

[@greatestsportslegends]

Unbelievable! What a spectacular and perfect combination of interior design and architecture! Given the location, was there any consideration for including solar in a way that would not take away the inspired look?

[@carradean]

Very cool.

[@michaelmunoz7578]

WOW! 👏

[@hlmy50]

icredible🤯

[@tmadden4951]

I like it

[@catarinacorreia3757]

can anyone tell me what happens if it rains?, will the rain just go through those "cellings"?? its such a nice casa!

[@Reedgains]

Wow

[@rsi4561]

ok. im sold. I want one.

[@csobotdaniel1349]

what is the size of the pool?

[@weirdshibainu]

I like the desgin. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near music festival.

[@sydthekid69420]

Did Kourtney and Travis buy this? Or just stay here. I recognized the kitchen!

[@ivanklymenko]

😍😍😍

[@annespellberg7173]

May I be conisidered one of your friends? I can be there this weekend!

[@paulkaiser8834]

Lots of references to Palm Springs yet this house is quite a distance away. If you want to leverage the Palm Springs brand/history then build there. LaQuinta is completely different vibe - it’s ok to embrace it.

[@itatiruelas7408]

WOW 😮😮😮😮

[@POINTBLAKEE]

Who owns this hosue?

[@bruintoo]

Indian Wells < Rancho Mirage < Palm Springs < Cathedral City < La Quinta < Desert Hot Springs in that order of prestige.

[@sc0petopus]

What material is that canopy? I want that too in my home!

[@inandeesh]

Stabilised aluminum foam.

[@sc0petopus]

Thx mate

[@MoroccanAnwar]

😒 I could never be an architect. How could you build something so nice and not love in it yourself lol. The people who can afford this stuff don't even live in it that much or appreciate and comprehend the level of art in something like this.

[@ismailhackingmedia]

Is this house listed for sale?

[@teemo5409]

To have the shift as the sunlight moves across the sky , I get it. In fact just before I saw the effect itsélf, I was thinking about that very same effect, that it the light should shift through the circular opening as you comé into the house, and I like the effect they created with the netting like effect and the way it plays the exterior of the home. But in the inside of the house, that would be very annoying.

[@ScottValentine]

What's going on with that roof? Looks great from the underside, looks like a maintenance nightmare from above. Super cool house, I want one. Tine to rob a bank or start a MLM scam.

[@mrvk39]

Why do you think it's a maintenance nightmare? The only thing that could ruin it would be foliage but in that climate it doesn't really exist. There is no snow either and, it rarely even rains, it's a desert climate. It's very dry, sunny, warm.

[@ScottValentine]

@@mrvk39 typically a roof is designed to allow whatever falls on there to fall off. Rain, Snow, Tree branches, etc.. you get the point. This roof system has an exposed grid system to the top where you'd usually cover it in metal, tiles, polycarbonate or whatever. It's possible in this location it's not a problem. But typically for at least part of the year, you will have wind, you will have some rain, dirt gets stuck in a joint slowly causing issues and in this location, I'm sure the UV rays are punishing on whatever you throw out in the sun. So given the level of design rigour of this house and the extraordinary detailing I'm curious as to what is actually going on with that roof system.

[@mrvk39]

@@ScottValentine fair points! Just having been to Palm Springs, I know it to be an extremely dry, desert environment where it doesn't rain often, but it does rain, of course. And typical desert vegetation doesn't have leaves or branches but who knows? Dirt and sand would certainly be an issue..

[@rhemy1]

Isn’t Palm Springs having water problems
