In 1957, Twin Palms helped change the face of Palm Springs. Now, 70 years later, this legendary neighborhood opens its doors for two special Modernism Week events: the daytime home tour and the Twilight Cocktail Party, tickets sold separately.
Designed by Dan Palmer and William Krisel for the Alexander Construction Company, Twin Palms helped define Desert Modernism—with soaring Butterfly roofs, walls of glass and effortless indoor-outdoor living.
