Get Detailed with Stunning Palm Springs Architecture

Home to the largest collection of Mid-century modern spaces, Palm Springs has created its own design aesthetic over the years, and one that people flock to experience. To understand what that style is, you’ll want to know a bit about architecture, and we’re here to help you break that down. When describing mid-20th-century developments most give the nod to the exterior, interior, and design coupled with more organic forms like large glass and clean lines, which bring to life what you’ll see when stepping outside in Palm Springs. Design aspects include all sorts of buildings, shopping centers, and plenty of luxury villas Palm Springs has seen since this style has erupted. We’re sure there is no shortage of modern-style homes, especially when it comes to McLean Company’s perfectly curated vacation rentals which showcase this modern desert style of Palm Springs.

Experience Palm Springs Modernism

There are many ways to enjoy the unique beauty of Palm Springs. First up you’ll want to head outside and go for a walking tour as there are many interesting landmarks you’ll find throughout the city. You should stop at the Palm Springs Official Visitors Center, originally the Tramway Gas Station, to grab a map of other famous landmarks to visit. Second, you’ll want to make sure you book a guided tour around the city to learn more about mid-century modernism. There are quite a few options to choose from like The Modern Tour, PS Architecture Tours, and the Palm Springs Mod Squad. Finally, the best way to experience it all is to stay in a modern home! McLean Rentals has all that you need for rental options, especially when it comes to a few of our favorite modern designs like Casa Elizabeth and Modern Desert Palisades.

Casa Elizabeth

This famous home is worthy of staying for more than just one reason. Not only was it the late Elizabeth Taylor’s only Palm Springs home, but this property offers a beautiful option for those wanting a classic mid-century. Open and spacious rooms became popular with this movement, and there is no shortage of space in this fabulous retreat. With the help of post and beam architecture, many of these homes utilize glass walls to bring natural light inside. Similarly, you’ll find Casa Elizabeth with large glass windows that almost make it seem as if the outside, is inside. History seeps everywhere throughout this location. Featuring four bedrooms, high ceilings, and original art work owned by Elizabeth Taylor, don’t miss out on this option, perfect for any architectural lover.

Nestled into the sloping desert terrain you’ll find Modern Desert Palisades, an excellent choice for those searching for modern luxury. Walls of glass will give you an almost 360-degree view of the mountainscape. With four bedrooms this ultra stylish retreat will send you right back to Mid-20th Century.
