The Thoeny Residence, 2008: the architects own home. With more than just a tip of the hat to the now famous mid-century modernist Palm Springs aesthetic, Thoeny has incorporated revivalist elements into a new program for desert luxury living.

From the entry courtyard, little prepares one for the two-story volume of the living room and its soaring wood-beamed ceiling.

Curving like a Richard Serra Sculpture, the high entry wall shelters Hope Springs from the parking plaza off Club Circle Drive creating a private garden in front of the lobby.

This classic steel residence is one of only seven Steel Development Homes built in the early 1960's designed by architects Donald A. Wexler and Ric Harrison.
