The program: preserve the inherent charm of the original 1920’s Palm Springs residence and careful integrate an addition of equal character and contemporary functionality. Working closely with the interior designer/homeowner, former additions and adapted spaces were selectively removed and replaced with a new dining room, generous kitchen, and handsome master suite. Prevailing themes of expressed masonry and distressed wood beamed ceilings extend through the new spaces. The composite of old and new sustained the home’s archetypal origins and ordered its identity.
