H3K Home+Design is responsible for the brilliant renovation of this midcentury modern home located in Palm Springs, a city in the Sonoran Desert of Southern California. The architects collaborated closely with the owners to bring this 1958 William Krisel-designed retreat back to its midcentury roots while infusing it with the charms of their favorite vacation destination, Guatemala.

 Throughout this home, you will find custom selections, including colors, furnishings, fixtures, and materials. In an almost entirely modern neighborhood, the original home stuck out. A giant stucco wall was originally blocking the entire house before being restored to an attractive midcentury modern design.

What We Love: This vibrant midcentury modern home offers a warm and inviting new design thanks to thoughtful finishes and materials selection. Indoor and outdoor boundaries are blurred thanks to sliding glass doors that extends the interiors to out. On the outside, a desert landscaping fits into the context of the region, adding to the overall curb appeal of this home.
