Palm Springs Paradise Home Tour II: A Celebration of Bold Design, Color and Desert Style

Exclusive driving tour of six high-end Desert Modern vacation homes and full-time residences across Palm Springs—rarely open to the public. Bold design, indoor-outdoor living and vibrant style throughout.

Back by popular demand after selling out in 2025, this vibrant driving tour returns for its second year and will showcase six exceptional, all-new homes—never before open to Modernism Week guests—designed by John Patrick of Coachella Valley Life & Style. Located in various Palm Springs neighborhoods, the homes on this tour are high-end vacation rental properties that are not often open for public viewing, offering guests a rare and exclusive opportunity to experience these extraordinary residences firsthand. Each has been thoughtfully selected to highlight a distinct interpretation of Desert Modern design, creating a rich and varied architectural experience.

This must-see tour explores the dynamic world of Desert Modern homes. Rooted in a Modernist ethos of clean lines, open plans, and a strong connection to nature, Desert Modernism adapts classic modern design to the realities of the desert climate. The six featured homes embrace the surrounding landscape through deep overhangs for shade, natural materials such as stone and wood, expansive glass that frames dramatic desert views, and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Each home on the tour is a showstopper in its own right, showcasing bold themes, vibrant color palettes, and fearless design choices that celebrate the drama, light and texture of the desert environment.

A must-see tour for design lovers, this experience highlights high-impact aesthetics with a colorful, unmistakably Palm Springs twist.
