Front and balcony yellow doors. L-O-V-E it!
Just west of downtown Palm Springs, California, in the good ol' US of A. 
Exposed brown beams. A little crispy from the 118 degree temps we get here in the summer. 
Verticle wood beams.
By the mid 1970s this new earthy, yet ultra modern architecture was storming the country. Ostensibly, this is what became of our beloved "Atomic Ranch" house of just 20 years prior. Space and light were held in the highest esteem, thus not only walls, but ceilings pushed out and up, challenging the very limits of cubic footage for the average American middle class family. Now, the husband had a generous study all to himself (think of Mike Brady's den), the wife almost certainly had a home spa jetted garden tub for her to luxuriate in whenever she pleased and the kids' generously sized rec room first established in the 1960's remained unabridged for the new home video gaming systems now increasingly available to consumers at finer retail outlets and electronic stores. Here, the perfect marriage of magnificent nature and modernism remained not only intact, but better than it's ever been before.

I recently moved to Palm Springs in Southern California, and took these pictures. I was excited to see real life examples of my toy passion. There are better examples out there I will be posting in the future, but for now these are what I have. They are by a renowned architect (Alexander?) and were constructed in the late 1950's in the mid century modern style. One even shows real life exposed beams (they would be better if the owner painted them white or cream) Enjoy.
Every town will have a neighborhood like this 1975-1985-ish:
 |
| Talk about living in a real life 1978 A Frame Dream house!!! |
 |
| What a cute patio and yard, too! |
 |
| Kind of a stretch, but what the heck, its a super cool house. |
In every configuration you can think of, even a 1 level ranch style, best enjoyed in a hilly, large lot neighborhood with an abundance of green space, a lake and even two swans kissing and forming the heart shape as they do! Only $750,000 (in 2023)
