The minimalist contemporary home was designed by LA-based architectural firm Woods + Dangaran and sits in the hillside enclave of Desert Palisades.
When lauded architecture firm Woods + Dangaran completed their ambitious Palm Springs project, the Woods House, design magazines quickly jumped at the opportunity to profile the slick desert home.
Every industry publication from Architectural Digest to Dezeen or Wallpaper ran a feature showcasing the modern marvel’s many attributes, and the seamless way in which it blends with its surroundings. Now, it’s our turn, as the newly built, four-bedroom architectural home has recently been listed for sale.
Priced at $5,750,000, the property is being marketed by The Agency’s Jeff Kohl, whose title as Director of Architectural Properties specialized in desert communities fits this property like a glove.
The home’s design employs some of the best features of desert modernism, an aesthetic that embraces the desert environment, and uses low, sleek lines that make buildings blend in with the scenery, while featuring open interiors that keep that airy desert feeling.
As not to disrupt the natural setting, the house is slightly elevated to sit above the arroyos that have been on the site for thousands of years. Keeping the terrain intact was a key consideration for the design team.

The single-story home’s interiors span 3,310 square feet and take cues from the desert landscape, incorporating a muted palette of colors ranging from sage green to sandy brown and pink hues. Each and every element has been carefully picked to respect (and enhance) the house’s aesthetics and its desert connection.
