Modernism Week Featured Home Tour: The West House

Welcome to a tour of a dynamic residence in the cherished Old Las Palmas neighborhood, built in 1954. This property was renovated by renowned architect Albert Frey, who incorporated numerous modernist design features. The residence has undergone a complete metamorphosis, with extensive exterior landscaping and interior redesign. It includes customized elevated details and revitalized modernist aesthetics with an innovative twist, all while paying tribute to Albert Frey's signature architectural elements.

The design features modern curves and shapes that evoke a bold, futuristic style, enhanced by warm colors and striking black accents. Each room has been carefully curated with custom-designed pieces to create a truly unique and sophisticated environment. Every room tells a captivating and individualized story through its distinct visual narrative. The seamless indoor-outdoor living of this home is highlighted by expansive floor-to-ceiling glass sliders that offer breathtaking views of the majestic San Jacinto Mountains, framed by swaying palm trees, lush grounds, and water features. This enchanting property perfectly exemplifies the iconic Palm Springs lifestyle.

Modernism Week sponsors Brizo, California Closets, Dunn-Edwards Paints, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting, Fleetwood Windows & Doors, Flor, Kichler, Monogram, Tidelli, and Willis contributed to this project.
