Brian, a passionate design enthusiast, has beautifully reimagined his iconic mid-century modern home in Palm Springs' Little Beverly Hills neighborhood.

Brian's renovation pays homage to its mid-century roots while incorporating his unique style. A standout feature is the use of Tesselle Divisia Breeze Blocks, creating eye-catching elements from a coordinating turquoise mailbox stand to a shaded front porch and a pathway to a luxurious pool area in the backyard, which offers stunning views of Mt. San Jacinto. Surrounded by a thoughtfully curated desert landscape, Brian's home effortlessly blends classic architecture with contemporary flair.
