exemplary model of the modern desert home
The 5,000 square foot interior was designed with the concept of destination getaway in mind. As a second home for its owners,
not only has it become the ideal entertaining place but also a resort-like haven of relaxation and retreat. Nestled at the base of a desert
mountain located in La Quinta, California, the home's vast expanses of glass maximize the views and create a natural backdrop
for the desert-inspired finish and furnishing palette. The strong indoor/outdoor connection is realized with large-scaled,
sandblasted limestone flooring that flows from the exterior entry into the interior and then back out into the outdoor living space.
​Rift-cut oak millwork, concrete countertops, and gold accent wall color work together to radiate warmth throughout.
