Atomic Ranch Talk & Tour: A Hal Lacey Mod Paradise

Step into a 70s retro revival at this newly renovated never-before seen Hal Lacey stunner in the coveted Indian Canyons neighborhood. From the bold color to the stunning tile work and a striking rock wall fireplace, hear how ideas that were bookmarked for years came to life in this mod beauty.

The coveted Indian Canyon neighborhood has always been home to those who dared to dream. Development began on the Indian Canyons Neighborhood in the early 1960s. In 1962, The Canyon Country Club (now known as the Indian Canyons North Course) golf course, opened and its now iconic clubhouse was designed by famed architects Donald Wexler and Richard Harrison. It was the first 18-hole golf course in Palm Springs. It drew the ‘who’s who’ of Hollywood, including Fess Parker and Walt Disney.

Hal Lacey designed this home in 1974 full of elegant amenities like a raised dining room and a sunken bar. He also set the stage for drama with its striking entry colonnade. Today it’s been revived as a retro dream home full of signature style and bold design details by Midcentury Modern real estate expert Lou Zucaro who has dedicated his work to celebrating and preserving Midcentury Modern gems in the midwest. Here he brings his mod paradise to life in the desert.

Tour the home then gather poolside for a live interview by Atomic Ranch editor Jickie Torres as she and Lou discuss the home's history and newly completed renovations. A Q&A session will allow guests to tap into the panel’s expertise, and guests will receive a free copy of Atomic Ranch magazine.
