Hitting the Links in Style: Modern and Mid-Century Modern Gems in Palm Springs

, ,



Greater Palm Springs is more than a premier golf destination; it's a swanky desert gem waiting to be explored by those who seek memorable experiences. The area has long been a preferred destination for the Hollywood elite, and today, this luxury oasis boasts vacation rentals, villas, condos, and boutique hotels that offer a mix of cozy home vibes and luxury.

Palm Springs is known for its large concentration of Mid-Century modern architecture. Since the 1920s, some of the country's best architects have designed modern buildings harmoniously integrated into the natural environment.

The Palm Springs Desert Modernism

The area's landscape (mountains and desert) inspired an architectural style called Desert Modernism. This style is an interpretation of international modernism tailored to the desert environment and leisure living.

Influenced by the intense desert climate, modern mid-century buildings are characterized by:

  • minimalist design
  • clean lines and simple elegance
  • seamless transition of indoor and outdoor spaces
  • flat or butterfly-wing v-shaped roofs
  • nonconventional and natural materials
  • innovative construction methods
