Concrete block design sets the tone at Palm Springs redo
We usher in Modernism Week with a contemporary renovation in Palm Springs. Set behind a geometric, three-dimensional concrete block wall, the single-story Midcentury Modern is entered through opaque-glass-and-steel doors. Architect Charles DuBois is known for designing some of the desert community’s more distinctive houses, including this one in the Vista Las Palmas neighborhood.
