The Orange Door Sandpiper Retreat

Palm Desert, California, US
A Historically Designated Home in the Legendary Sandpiper Community

This reimagined 1964 beauty by iconic architect William Krisel holds court at the heart of the legendary Sandpiper community, a classic Palm Desert development of low-slung homes built in the heyday of the mid-century modernist movement.

Fully renovated (and historically designated) with a private atrium and big mountain views, this Coachella Valley classic combines vintage charm with modern conveniences. Famed architect William Krisel created the house to join the hundreds of other mid-century modern beauties that make up the landmark Sandpiper complex, developed between 1958 and 1969. These modernist bungalows were designed according to a series of standard specifications, though each home showcases its own distinct personality with a unique combination of breeze blocks and concrete, patios and porticos, and angular roof lines.

This bright, three-bedroom, two-bath vacation home rental in California has been thoughtfully renovated to retain its retro bones, including a vivid indoor courtyard-styled atrium. Creative updates include a splash of bright white indoors and out, and neo-mod furnishings by Design Within Reach and Blue Dot. The sleek cook’s kitchen showcases mid-century-inspired wood cabinetry, a gleaming new version of the homey look popular in the 1950s and '60s. Outside, a new fire pit overlooks the rugged mountain backdrop.


AROUND

Palm Desert is Palm Springs’ little sister, set against the dramatic San Jacinto Mountains in southern California’s Coachella Valley. The house, centrally located in the Sandpiper community, is walking distance from the elegant shopping and dining options along El Paseo, and is set on a circle around a community yard and pool. 

Country clubs, art and design galleries, funky shops, retro-inspired nightlife, and mid-century modern architectural landmarks have put Palm Springs and neighboring Palm Desert on the map, and the Coachella Valley area has enjoyed a youthful renaissance of late, the result of its music festival and the popular embrace of all things desert hippie chic. Rock climbers and hikers love the area, home to Joshua Tree National Park and the breathtaking Indian Cove, plus the San Jacinto mountains offer dozens of trails.
