Camino Norte Residence

Located in historic Old Las Palmas, this restored 1960s residence, originally designed by Arthur Elrod, reflects the defining principles of mid-century desert architecture. The exterior is characterized by rhythmic brise-soleil screens, a flat roofline, and minimalist detailing. Floor-to-ceiling glass blurs the line between indoors and out, framing views of the era-inspired pool and private courtyards, and embodying the Palm Springs ideal of indoor-outdoor living.

We reimagined this Hollywood Regency residence with the goal of returning it to its mid-century roots while integrating contemporary functionality. The interior layout was reconfigured to improve circulation and spatial clarity, establishing a strong axis between private quarters and shared living spaces. Original features, including white pecky cedar paneling and travertine flooring, were preserved and extended into the new additions.
