Modernist original is in harmony in Palm Springs

Share via

The Edris House, built in 1954, was designed by modernist architect E. Stewart Williams to rise from the desert landscape and rock outcrops that surround it.

Among the Palm Springs residence’s forward-thinking features is a series of concealed steel beams that support the gently sloped roofline while creating an open floor plan within. Built-in screens divide the free-flowing spaces within the house, which retains nearly every original detail.
