Here Are 20 of the Best Midcentury Renovations in Palm Springs

Painted a Brittlebush green—the color of desert flowers—the 1,124-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home sits on an 8.2-acre hillside. Architect Albert Frey, a protégé of Le Corbusier, designed the modest home for a local school superintendent in 1955. The single-story residence is supported by thin steel columns, and it appears to float over the rocky terrain. A spacious 600-square-foot deck is wrapped with bold yellow fiberglass siding. The home recently underwent a total renovation that meticulously restored all of the original building materials to nearly their original condition. This includes the exterior and interior wall panels, fluted fiberglass deck pieces, kitchen appliances, cabinetry, and even the original glass shower door.
