A Dreamy Palm Springs Home Designed by a Donald Wexler Protégé Lists For $3.5M

Stunning interiors match spectacular views in this midcentury-inspired home.

Designed by Donald Wexler protege Lance O’Donnell of O2 Architecture, 2323 Southridge Drive is a two-bedroom, two-bath 2,736-square-foot home nestled into Palm Springs' Southridge neighborhood. Although the stylish abode was built in 2016, it looks like it jumped straight out of a glamorous midcentury film set.

Perched on a hillside, the midcentury-inspired home is well integrated into the natural landscape.

The contemporary take on desert modernism unfolds over a one-level open floor plan. Gallery-style interiors provide plenty of room to display an art collection—which is quite fitting, as the home is being sold by art dealer and filmmaker Dennis Yares. 

A concrete block wall extends beyond the floor-to-ceiling glazing, creating a strong connection to the outdoors.

Iittala Aalto Vase
A classic piece that remains a modern Scandinavian design staple to this day. The Iittala Aalto Vase was originally designed by Alvar Aalto in 1936, immediately revolutionizing the art of glassblowing with its intricate, fluid folds of glass.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Couch (1930) was added to his Barcelona Collection in the year following the introduction of the Chair and Stool.

The interiors feature poured terrazzo floors, lacquered cedar ceilings, concrete block walls, custom walnut cabinetry, and floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows that take advantage of the spectacular panoramic views. There's even a triangular saltwater pool with a gas fire pit.
