Palm Springs Mid Century Architecture

Palm Springs seems to be the ideal setting for mid-century modern architecture. The flat, open spaces, abundant sunshine and a horizon defined by canyons and rugged mountain slopes make for a perfect backdrop for the smooth lines of Palm Springs mid century architecture. Luckily for fans of Palm Springs modern homes, there’s no shortage of this type of home in the city and the rest of the Coachella Valley.

Palm Springs mid century architecture is characterized by an emphasis on an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, where boundaries between interiors and exteriors become indistinct through the use of glass, large windows, unobtrusive entryways, and other design elements. This architectural style also places an emphasis on manmade materials such as corrugated metal, glass, cement and aluminum.

Examples of Palm Springs mid century architecture are not just confined to homes, moreover. Architects such as Albert Frey, John Lautner, E. Stewart Williams and Donald Wexler also designed a variety of civic and commercial buildings. Palm Springs City Hall itself, which was designed by Frey along with John Porter Clark and the Williams, Williams & Williams firm, is an ideal mid-century modern building with its clean shapes and aluminum brise-soleil that cast interesting and varying shadows depending on the time of day.
