This Renovated Mid-Century Modern Ranch House Is Surrounded By Mountains And Desert

Architectural design practice Hundred Mile House, have renovated and added an addition to a custom-built post and beam mid-century ranch house built in 1954 at the base of San Jacinto Mountain in Palm Springs, California.

Here’s a glimpse of what the original house looked like before and during the renovation. Unfortunately the original architect is unknown.

The material palette used for the house has been inspired by the desert. On the exterior of the house sand-colored stucco is paired with wood elements and a rusted steel fence.

Behind the fence is a courtyard with desert landscaping and steps leading up to the front door.

Inside the front door, there’s a small foyer with a large piece of art hanging on the wall. The original concrete floors were re-coated and sealed, with the new addition also having polished concrete to create a consistent appearance.

The foyer opens up into a large open plan room that houses the living room, dining room and kitchen. The living room is focused on the black brick fireplace and a wall of windows floods the room with natural light.

Just off the living room and dining room is a new patio and pool. When renovating, the designers saved as many of the original plants as possible, including a very mature Monstrose Apple Cactus.
