Mariposa offers a rare opportunity to experience one of the final residential designs by legendary Modernist architect William Krisel.
Completed in 2006, the home showcases Krisel’s unmistakable approach to Modern Desert living. Its original owners have called Mariposa home for nearly 20 years, and when the time came for a refresh, they turned to H3K Home + Design to usher the property into its next chapter.
New finishes and carefully considered interior updates enhance the architecture without competing with it, while a dramatically reimagined backyard transforms the home’s relationship with the desert outdoors. The result feels sophisticated yet wonderfully relaxed–a home designed as much for entertaining under the Palm Springs sky as for quiet afternoons by the pool.
Twenty years after it was built, Mariposa feels remarkably of the moment, offering visitors a glimpse of how an iconic Modernist vision can evolve beautifully with time.
Modernism Week sponsors Arizona Tile, Brizo, California Closets, Dunn-Edwards Paints, INAX and James Martin Vanities, contributed to this home's remarkable rebirth.
