The most iconic and recognizable of William Krisel's architectural designs, this rare version of his famous Butterly-roof was only ever done in the Twin Palm neighborhood. There are only 12 like this here. A famous and sought-after elevation in Palm Springs, the butterfly roof seamlessly connects every room in the house to the palms, mountains, and sky beyond, continually engaging the inhabitants with the beauty of the outdoors while offering protection that feels as light as a tent. Krisel's original vision is further enhanced by a creamy, neutral, and textured aesthetic that pairs elegantly with terrazzo-style flooring, blending the best of both old and new-world architecture. All doors and windows, including the main living room have been replaced and the main sliding glass door is by Fleetwood. This new glass offers brilliant transparency and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. A previous addition provides a soft transition into a gallery hallway before merging into the well-known Twin Palms floor plan. The kitchen features a large glass wall where another connection to the outdoors, rarely afforded in these domestic spaces, takes precedence and allows the organic materials, including neutral wood and beautifully curated tiles by Kelly Wearstler to really shine. Exquisite ceramic tiles further enhance the bathroom details. Situated on a spacious lot, the home has discrete lounging, swimming, and entertaining areas that give it a resort-like feel. The whole outdoor area has been thoughtfully designed with a newly renovated pool and spa, a covered dining/lounge area, and a separate conversation space with a fire pit. The primary bedroom is the true showstopper. Here, the soaring butterfly-wing roofline perfectly frames breathtaking mountain views, wrapping the space almost entirely in glass. A central atrium brings in additional light.A two-car garage with a dedicated laundry area completes this exceptional desert retreat.
