Nestled at the northern edge of the San Jacinto Mountains in Palm Springs, the Wabi Sabi House is a stunning example of desert modern design. Conceived by Jill Lewis Architecture with landscape architecture by Hoerr Schaudt, this low-slung, two-level home is so seamlessly embedded in the rocky terrain that it feels like a natural extension of the otherworldly landscape.
Inspired by organic architecture, the expansive 6,500-square-foot home boasts an open floor plan and generous floor-to-ceiling windows, offering breathtaking 360-degree vistas of Palm Springs and the surrounding mountains. Clad in blackened cypress siding and featuring thoughtful interior details like honed Portuguese limestone walls and Japanese-inspired gardens, this residence is a true sanctuary that respects and enhances its unique desert environment. It’s a masterclass in contextual sensitivity and honest material expression, setting a new standard for desert living.
