Take this self-driven home tour through various neighborhoods in Palm Springs, featuring several iconic architectural homes by some of the area's most noted architects.

Welcome to the 2027 Signature Home Tour, a premier event and one of the longest-running in the history of Modernism Week. While most tours focus on a particular neighborhood or architect, the Signature Home Tour encompasses all of Palm Springs' architectural history and geography.

Tourgoers will use a drive-through check-in at a central Palm Springs location (please remain in your car, you’ll be guided through). A 16-page brochure and tour map will get you on your way to explore several different corners of the city of Palm Springs and its architecture. The five homes will then be revealed!

You’ll explore homes designed by prominent Palm Springs architects from the midcentury to the present. Past homes have included designs by Donald Wexler, Albert Frey, William Krisel, Lance O’Donnell to name just a few. Interiors will present the design vision of both professional interior designers and savvy homeowners. The featured homes, chosen for their architecture, interiors, gardens and grounds, epitomize Palm Springs and what makes life and architecture in the desert unique.

The Signature Home Tour is offered on both Sundays of Modernism Week with identical morning and afternoon tours. The February 14 tour homes will differ from the February 21 homes.
