•4 December, 2009 • Leave a CommentThe Thoeny Residence, 2008: the architect’s own home. With more than just a tip of the hat to the now famous mid-century modernist Palm Springs aesthetic, Thoeny has incorporated revivalist elements into a new program for desert luxury living. The two story residence is sited to capture distant mountain views across the city and valley, and is set well back from the street behind the parking court. The scale of the living spaces, quality and attention to detail throughout the residence will satisfy even the most sophisticated, and demanding. The property continues to be impeccably maintained, even while offered at significantly less than replacement costs. Includes 4 bedroosm, 4.5 baths, office, pool, patios and gardens.

The Millard House (La Miniatura), 1923
Recognized by Wright as the earliest ‘Usonian’ house, La Miniatura is also the first residence to utilize Wright’s highly inventive textile block building system. The Millard House is internationally recognized as one of the world?s most important works of architecture. Now, following a multi-year restoration, the complex offers one of the most romantic, and creative living spaces anywhere. Sited on nearly an acre of gardens within the Prospect Historic District of Pasadena, the residence and studio include: 4 bedrooms, and 4 baths, 2 kitchens, living room, formal dining room, and semi-attached garages. The Millard House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
