Wexler. Neutra. Lautner. Cody. These architects re-imagined the house fifty years ago, blending form and function with the desert lifestyle. What was revolutionary in mid-century modern architecture is now ubiquitous. Fast-forward to 2006 where ALTA is leading the revolution in contemporary desert home design.

“From the start, we envisioned ALTA as the destination for contemporary architectural enthusiasts,” said Frank Eder, General Manager of the Development Team.

ALTA is the first Palm Springs real estate development where architectural design was outsourced to a prominent and internationally recognized custom home architectural firm. “It’s atypical for a residential real estate developer to contract the services of a firm like Patel Architecture,” explains Eder.

“Working closely with the developer, we’ve designed this product in an effort to maximize individual home site views as well as preserve ALTA view corridors for many years to come.”
