Photography by Lance Gerber

Good design never goes out of style, and with that said, here’s a look at the Edris House in Palm Springs, California. Currently listed for sale, the house was designed by architect E.Stewart Williams, and built in 1952 for movie theater and farm owner William Edris and his wife.

Positioned within the desert landscape, this house is an example of mid-century modern architecture. Wood features have been combined with stone walls and plenty of glass. #Wood #Stone #MidCenturyModern #House
