Overview

Nestled against the rugged terrain of Palm Springs, this residence stands as a testament to elevated desert living. 

Designed by acclaimed architect Jill Lewis, the home seamlessly blends timeless Mid-Century inspiration with contemporary sophistication, embracing the Japanese-influenced Wabi Sabi philosophy—a celebration of organic textures, raw materials, and the beauty of imperfection.

It centers on harmony with nature, utilizing natural materials and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions to create a serene retreat that honors its environment.

A Harmonious Meeting Place of Architecture and Nature

From the moment you arrive, the residence captivates with its sculptural form wrapped in charred shou sugi ban, a striking contrast against the desert landscape. Inside, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame panoramic views, blurring the line between indoors and out. 

Natural materials like Hemlock wood ceilings, Italian Calcutta and Taj Mahal stone, French oak, and limestone flow throughout, creating an atmosphere that is both refined and inviting.

Crafted for Seamless Desert Living 

To fully embrace the stunning desert and mountain views, every window and door in the home was chosen for its minimal framing and expansive glass openings. The goal was to create unobstructed sightlines while ensuring durability in a high-exposure environment.

The aim was to:

  • Incorporate Awake Series 425 curtain walls, enhancing visibility with sleek, low-profile framing.
  • Install 905 Series multi-slide doors, opening the space to its natural surroundings.
  • Use Awake Series casements and awnings, providing ventilation without sacrificing design.
  • Ensure smooth functionality, making every window and door easy to operate.

A Sanctuary of Sophistication

Designed for both comfort and elegance, the primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, featuring panoramic vistas, a spa-inspired en-suite with a sculptural soaking tub, and a custom walk-in closet. Each additional en-suite bedroom is uniquely appointed with luxurious finishes and artistic detailing, offering a bespoke retreat for residents and guests alike.

What stands out most about this project:

  • The meticulous craftsmanship is required to execute the seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.
  • The harmonious integration of contemporary design into the natural desert setting.
  • The collaborative approach, where technical expertise and creative vision worked hand in hand
