At Rancho Mirage’s famed Tamarisk Country Club, the design/build firm Studio Veren has completely re-imagined a classic 1959 desert dwelling by architect Val Powelson. Eschewing the standard all-white interiors so common in renovations, they’ve employed deep tones and wood paneling while honoring the home’s Mid-Century design pedigree.

Val Powelson [1927-1994] was one of the many architects working in the desert communities of Coachella Valley in the post-WWII boom, creating what we see today as Desert Modern. Known for his sweeping rooflines and effortless open spaces, Powelson, originally trained as an engineer, began his career as a contractor in the LA area and later became an architect, eventually partnering with Robert Marx (the nephew of Groucho) to create a design/build firm that specialized in luxury dwellings in the area, especially at the celebrity haven that was Tamarisk.
