- Palm Springs has one of the largest concentrations of preserved mid-century modern architecture in the world. Talented young visionary architects came to Palm Springs and interpreting Modern architecture in a way that best suited the desert environment and leisure living. Their design talents are celebrated every year during Modernism Week. Let’s explore the architecture through the neighborhoods.
Desert Modernism is an interpretation of the Modernist or International Style, tailored to suit the Palm Springs indoor/outdoor lifestyle. People flocked to Palm Springs for the stunning fall/winter weather and wanted to spend their time outdoors. Desert Modernism is recognizable by its minimalist clean lines and the seamless blur of indoor and outdoor space. Rooflines are often flat or butterfly-wing v-shaped (dubbed “butterfly” roofs). Floor plans were open with lots of windows and sliding glass doors that bring the outside in. Beautiful breeze blocks temper the desert heat and attached carports rather than detached garages fulfilled the need to shelter the automobile.
Such a gorgeous area so iconic.
Like the consistent roof slopes & glass. All the masonry gives the balance. I'm inspired. JIM

hey Robert thanks for watching. The houses are built in the twin palms area of Palm Springs by William Krisel
You dont need to convince me, lived in this neighborhood fifteen years.
@@IanPunter we have a house in twin palms
I love Palm Springs. I'm longing to move there! ❤😊🎉
the weather is great especially during the winter. It gets a little hot in the summer but it's still nice
@@hollywoodambience I love hot very much, think that I run 22 to 35 kms with 30-35 grades farenheit!
@@MarioRossi-dc3nh I love the heat. Are you from Germany? All the germans come to the desert
@@hollywoodambience I'M Italian, I love summer 12 mounths per year, I love palms, I love Palms Springs style living. I've been looking for Palm Springs since I was born. You must not believe it, but I lived my previous life there!
@@MarioRossi-dc3nh oh I believe it!
So many Palm Trees Wow! wish I could move there. So quiet compared to LA. Where are the People at? 😯
it was super cold that afternoon I guess they were in the hot tubs
prolly napping or at happy hour
why are most of the houses one floor? is there a reason?
the neighborhoods sit right up next to the mountains and the building code in Palm Springs forbids the construction of 2 story structures because people want good views of the mountains. Also there are no lamp posts or light because it distracts from the stars night skies
I wonder what the HOA fees are at Palm Springs?
Hello this neighborhood in Palm Springs doesn't have any HOA dues.
Which avenue or location in Palm Springs is this?
HI this is in the Twin Palms neighborhood in South Palm Springs
A couple of those houses front yards , should have fake grass, waisting water
Palm Springs has unlimited water supply
@@hollywoodambience not as the population grows , look at golf courses in Arizona and look at them in the Coachella valley, they are wasting water
Palm Springs was developed in the late 40s and later became the Mecca of MCM in the 50s and 60s, because of the Hoover Dam. Unfortunately, the water allocation on the Colorado River between the Four Corner States and Nevada and California has become extremely strained over the decades and even moreso in the last 5 to 10 yrs. Here in Arizona, several suburbs in Phoenix have required new developments to be desert scaped and some older are asking homeowners to become desert scaped as well to conserve water. And there is very little in the development of new golf courses as well. So I do understand your concern of water conservation here, but these homes and lots have existed here in Palm Springs for a very long time and have much less impact in comparison to the cookies cutter homes being built in the rest of the Southwest.
