California Vibes in Queensland: a Palm Springs modernist-style home for two designed by Tim Ditchfield Architects on Australia’s Sunshine Coast.
Inspired by their travels through California, a Queensland couple had one clear wish: a home in Desert Modernism style. Pioneered by architects like Richard Neutra and Albert Frey, this distinctive look gives Palm Springs its iconic modernist ‘desert architecture’ – an homage to its unforgiving climate and stark landscape. Even today, this Californian city remains a mecca for architecture enthusiasts. To translate this architectural style to Queensland, the Australians found the perfect partner in Tim Ditchfield Architects, a multiple award-winning firm from Noosa Heads.
