Clark House. This is the first house designed and built by the team of Clark and Frey, soon after they arrived in Palm Springs from New York. And it seems somewhat out of place, a displaced East Coast house. Still owned by the descendants of Clark, the house is in much its original condition. A small central ground floor core with a jutting cantilevered living space above a statement in steel and engineering.

Palm Springs City Hall. California has a fine tradition of innovative and modern civic architecture. Palm Springs City Hall is an especially fine structure and perfectly adapted to its site and especially its climate. The barrel shaped sun screens along the front make the building cool and inviting on even the sunniest day.

Now fully restored it will soon take its rightful place amongst the five most important house of the 20th century. (Falling Water, Robie House, Gropius House, Kaufman House, Gambell House)

CRAIG ELLWOOD


Palevsky House, 1968
Craig Ellwood
1021 W. Cielo Drive, Palm Springs

This house sits on a spectacular site overlooking the city yet it turns its back on the views and looks inward. Designed around an Art Collection it needed large expanses of walls with no distractions. It accomplishes this by looking inward with a series of inner courtyards, creating a sense of introspection ideal for great art.

KELLOGG

The Chart House
Kellogg
69-934 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage


Chart House. The Chart House Restaurant lies aside highway 111 in the city of Rancho Mirage, you can't miss it. The building is one of the most organic structures in America. It is also a prime example of the (unfortunately) long out of vogue 70's style of earth sheltered building. A friend once described the building as a roof lying on the side of the road. I view it as some sort of prehistoric sea creature beached in Rancho Mirage, its bones bleaching in the sun. Inside the analogy is even more striking, as you feel like a perverse Noah eating your sea creatures inside a sea creature.

There are very few Weber houses still around, and most of them are in Santa Barbara. This one is a bit hard to see from the road and a bit off the beaten track in Banning but worth the try. When seeing a house like this, a very modern looking house built in 1928; It serves as a reminder that Modernism is not just a post world war II movement.

Banning High School, 40's
P.W.A Streamline Moderne
N.E. Corner San Gorgonio & Nicholet, Banning

Bank of America. Positioned in the crux of a fork in Highway 111 where Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon each become one way. The B of A is especially dramatic traveling east, rearing up in front of you and positioned as it is where the roads split. This is undoubtedly one of the most dramatic buildings in Palm Springs, perhaps in all of Southern California. It is of a style not often seen in the United States. This building would feel more at home in South America than Palm Springs. It is by far the most playful building in the desert, which tends towards a more international style formalism.
