Using the 1954 William Cody family home as his canvas, Smith's light installation engages with the glass, light, and geometry of this iconic Palm Springs home. This tour presents a rare chance to explore Desert Modernist architect William Cody's personal residence while experiencing a temporary, site-specific art installation designed to interact with his indelible design.

Phillip K. Smith III, renowned for his expansive light-based artwork and site-specific installations, transforms the Cody family home into a dynamic canvas for light and color. The floor-to-ceiling reflective surfaces capture and mirror the surrounding architecture and desert landscape. As dusk falls, the installation shifts from pure reflection to a mesmerizing play of color, creating ethereal fields of light that shift and change as you move through Cody's masterful architecture.

Cody's home was a laboratory for his innovative ideas on architectural minimalism. His vision for the space, with its minimal structural elements, later became a hallmark of Desert Modernism. In this residence, Cody achieved his ultimate goal of structural purity, stripping the design down to its barest essentials.

The result of this is a deeply immersive and unforgettable fusion of art and architecture offering visitors an extraordinary experience at the intersection of these disciplines.
