Perched high above the Coachella Valley in Palm Springs, California, this spectacular modern home was reimagined by Javier Segura Design​ together with Hoedemaker Pfeiffer. This dwelling is a beautiful testament to modern desert living, embodying a blend of modern luxury and the natural beauty of the desert terrain.

The homeowners are a vibrant retired couple deeply rooted in the desert community, who sought a dwelling conducive to their love for family gatherings and entertaining. With a passion for golf, tennis, and pickleball, they envisioned a space that not only embraced the surrounding natural beauty but also offered a luxurious retreat to host their family and friends.

Originally a dated Hollywood regency meets Asian-inspired 1960s home, this retreat underwent a remarkable transformation. The design team collaborated to reimagine the space, relocating the kitchen to frame awe-inspiring mountain and valley vistas while repositioning bedrooms and adding a guest casita. The finished result is a modern oasis that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings.​

Drawing inspiration from the desert and mountain landscape, the design palette features earthy neutral tones such as gold, taupe, sage, and deep palm green, with accents of ochre and sienna. This thoughtful selection of colors and materials creates a harmonious blend between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Each space, from the inviting living room with its bronze-finished fireplace to the stylish bar inspired by boutique hotels, invites you to relax and unwind in luxurious comfort.

The interior design of the living room is a study in sophisticated comfort. The bronze-finished fireplace and cement chimney anchor the room, while the 10-foot velvet sofas offer ample seating for guests. Swivel chairs offer flexibility, allowing guests to take in the breathtaking views or engage in lively conversation.

Above the fireplace, an oil on canvas artwork by Michael Dailey from 1966 adds a timeless artistic flair, complementing the room’s luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The painting’s hand-made touch and organic vibe provide a beautiful contrast to the room’s contemporary, clean-lined furniture, adding depth and character to the space.

Adjacent to the living room, the bar is inspired by boutique hotels, offering a stylish escape for intimate gatherings. The interior palette of moody stone, oak, and bronze materials creates a subtle and satisfying ambiance, inviting guests to unwind and enjoy the desert vistas through the expansive windows.

What We Love: This reimagined Palm Springs retreat offers luxurious living spaces for a retired couple who love entertaining. Living spaces are stylish and sophisticated while still being inviting thanks to the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor areas, creating a sense of fluidity and connection with the surrounding landscape. We especially love the owner’s bedroom suite with the outdoor bathtub surrounded by nature.
