Woods + Dangaran Relied on Brass Panels & Glass for This Design

A desert house is a certain type of aesthetic and The Desert Palisades home, designed and built by Los Angeles-based studio Woods + Dangaran, really nails the style. The structure is elongated and occupies a rocky site in Palm Springs, California. The project is realized as a family weekend retreat. It is located in a gated community, meaning that a night or two at the desert house will surely give occupants peace of mind and rest from their busy, connected lives.

Woods + Dangaran used patinated brass panels to achieve a luxurious feel for the exterior, as well as extra-clear glass to bring breathtaking views to those inside the desert house. It was very important for the architectural firm to acknowledge the desert context and "keep the terrain in tact."
