With a successful career encompassing decades, Donald Wexler, FAIA [1926-2015] was one of Desert Modernism’s leading proponents for bringing an elegantly restrained Post + Beam aesthetic to dozens of projects in the Coachella Valley. The home he built for his family in 1955 (and lived in for nearly forty years) has just come on the market, asking $3,800,000.
In 2007, master perfumer Daniel Patrick Giles —the home’s current steward—collaborated with Wexler himself, the architect Lance O’Donnell and interior designer Darren Brown, to comprehensively reinvent the house while retaining its signature Post + Beam elements. They added new terrazzo floors, automated systems, baths and a new kitchen. The result is a transformative minimalist dwelling, set in an exquisite desert landscape.
Visit the property’s dedicated website for additional images, details and floor plans. On a one third-acre lot, the 3-bed, 2-bath dwelling is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and designated as a Palm Springs Class One Historic Resource; the property benefits from substantial Mills Act tax savings. An extraordinary opportunity to possess a very livable work of architecture, originally designed by one of the masters of Desert Modernism and beautifully reimagined. Represented by architecture specialists Brian Linder and Rick Grahn at The Value Of Architecture at Compass.
