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.

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.

Friedman House, 1928-29
Kim Weber
295 Indian Rd., Banning

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.
