Overview

Desert mid-century glamour — breeze blocks, bold color, and poolside cool.

The iconic desert-modern look of mid-century Palm Springs: clean post-and-beam architecture, breeze-block screens, walls of glass to the pool, and a confident hit of color and pattern. More glamorous and playful than pure Mid-Century Modern — this is the resort version, all sunshine, leisure, and retro cool.
