BEST INTERIOR MERCHANDISING
OF A MODEL PRICED OVER $1.5 MILLION

GOLD AWARD

This bold departure from other model interiors pays homage to

Desert Modernism, postwar Palm Springs’ rich midcentury modern

architecture. The design evokes the bygone elegance of the Rat

Pack and other Hollywood icons who favored this desert oasis as
their swinging playground. A vintage avocado-and-aqua palette is

enriched with velvet throws and faux fur; gold and brass accents add

glamour. Artful interplay between indoor/outdoor space is evident in

the lounge, which draws attention to the lavish pool court — where a

signature sculpture and suspended seating basket elevate otherwise
versatile furnishings. Unadorned sliders also permit seamless

transition to outdoor leisure. Although nostalgic, the design feels

thoroughly fresh, catering to sophisticated, mostly male Baby

design, and retreats are equally distinctive. Book-matched marble,

cantilevered cabinetry and recessed mirrors dramatize the master
bath. Textural linens and wall coverings, and locally produced art

and accents highlight all bedrooms.
