TWIN PALMS

Original William Cody

Krisel After Dark

Originally conceived by celebrated architect William Krisel for the Alexander Construction Company, this exceptional Twin Palms residence is a striking expression of International Style architecture within one of Palm Springs’ most iconic Alexander communities.

Krisel’s signature flat-roof, post-and-beam design evokes the quiet restraint of Japanese pavilion architecture, unfolding through an elegant horizontal rhythm that carries seamlessly throughout the home. From the sculptural sunshades and refined fireplace detailing to the exposed beams that visually extend from the front elevation through to the newly reimagined kitchen, the residence is defined by a remarkable sense of linear continuity and architectural cohesion.

In a compelling departure from the expected mid-century palette, the interiors embrace a moodier, more sophisticated interpretation of modernism—pairing rich, dark detailing with soft creamy tones to create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply livable.

This 3BR, (2 en-suites), 3 BA residence has undergone a comprehensive, design-forward renovation, including all-new plumbing and HVAC systems, waste lines, fully updated electrical, new doors and windows throughout, redesigned hardscape, a re-plastered pool and new spa, and a complete reimagining of the kitchen and all three bathrooms—thoughtfully executed to honor the home’s architectural pedigree while elevating it for contemporary living.
