Stay Inside the Architecture

Spend a relaxing weekend, or stay longer, in this distinctive 600-square-foot poolside studio, created for travelers who appreciate architecture, design, art, and the particular magic of Palm Springs.

More than a vacation rental, this is an intimate, highly curated modernist retreat. Collector-quality vintage furniture, original artwork, design books, and carefully selected architectural details create an environment that feels like a private design collection you can actually live in.

A Living Room for Design Lovers

The living room is furnished with collector-quality vintage pieces, including Adrian Pearsall couch and chair, and an extensive library of books devoted to architecture and design, with a special emphasis on Palm Springs. Local artists work is displayed throught this wonderful studio.

Spend an afternoon exploring the books and discovering the architects, houses, interiors, and designers that made Palm Springs one of America’s great centers of midcentury modernism. Then venture out and see them for yourself.

A Kitchen Made for Cooking

The newly renovated European-style kitchen is designed for more than simply making coffee. A full-size refrigerator and freezer and generous workspace make it easy to prepare everything from a simple breakfast to a leisurely gourmet dinner.

If there is something special you would like to have in the kitchen during your stay, just let us know and we will do our best to have it waiting for you when you arrive.

Architecture You Can Move Through

One of the studio’s most distinctive architectural elements is its original wood accordion wall, which separates the living/lounge area from the bedroom.

The wall is fully functional, allowing the studio to transform from an open loft-like space into a more private bedroom suite. It is a wonderful example of the kind of flexible, space-conscious design characteristic of midcentury interiors.

A Bedroom with a Modernist Legacy

The bedroom features an exceptionally comfortable king-size Case Study bed, connecting the space to the celebrated tradition of California modernist furniture and architecture.

Crisp white 100% cotton linens, a European duvet, and king-size pillows create a luxurious and restful setting. Duvet covers are freshly washed after every stay, so everything is clean and fresh for your arrival.

Blackout drapes provide complete privacy and ensure a deeply restful night’s sleep.

Twelve Feet of Glass Between You and the Desert

Expansive 12-foot sliding glass doors with screens open the bedroom onto a stunning 200-square-foot private patio.

The patio is furnished with a comfortable couch, chairs, and a small dining table. At its center is an extraordinary concrete fire bowl, creating an intimate place to gather after sunset.

A commercial-grade gas grill is kept clean and ready for use, making outdoor dining part of the experience.

A Bathroom Worth Noticing

The newly renovated bathroom combines contemporary European design with high-quality materials. Ann Sacks tile and a sleek European shower panel are complemented by original artwork.

Generous toiletries are provided, along with plush 100% white cotton towels and washcloths.

Your Own Small Piece of Palm Springs Modernism

From the original accordion wall to the architectural library, from the Case Study bed to the private fire bowl, every element has been selected to create an experience that is comfortable, authentic, and deeply connected to Palm Springs’ design heritage.

Come for the sunshine and pool. Stay for the architecture, art, books, and extraordinary indoor-outdoor living.
