Join us for a flashback tour of Green Gables, designed by Palmer-Krisel and built in 1958 by the Alexander Construction Company. This original 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been previously open to Modernism Week attendees after undergoing a complete renovation by H3K Design in 2019. The house sits on an oversized manicured lot at the gateway to the Twin Palms development–the first major Alexander subdivision in Palm Springs–where its high gable roofline is an ideal example of midcentury Modern design with walls of glass, dramatic ceilings floating in the air and natural stone walls. Come see the expanded master bathroom, the restored interior atrium, and a kitchen that pays homage to the kitchens of the midcentury era. The property's renovations utilized brands such as Brizo, Dunn-Edwards Paints, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting, and Willis.
