Modernism Week Renovation

Photography: Structural Systems

A full-home renovation in Palm Springs: the original mid-century lines kept, and nearly everything behind them rebuilt.

Completed by Structural Systems and photographed around Palm Springs Modernism Week, this whole-home renovation is a clear case of how the company works: keep a desert-modern original intact, and rebuild everything it needs for the next fifty years.

Original lines, modern systems

The brief on a mid-century renovation is restraint: protect the proportions, the rooflines and the indoor-outdoor flow that made the house worth saving, then bring the structure, systems and finishes up to a standard the original builders never could. The visible result should look effortless, as if nothing changed but the year.

Built for the desert, indoors and out

In Palm Springs the yard is a room. The renovation carries the same care past the walls: pool, hardscape and planting resolved as one composition with the house, so the property reads as a single finished idea rather than a building with a garden attached.
