Capturing the Essence of Palm Springs Architecture
The recent publication of “Inside Palm Springs” marks a significant addition to the world of architectural design books, presenting the stunning photography of Don Flood, a Managing Partner at The Agency San Miguel de Allende. Flood, who has spent over a decade photographing the distinct architecture of Palm Springs, showcases a collection of homes that reflect the evolution of desert design.
Flood's background in fashion and beauty photography informs his artistic eye, allowing him to capture the subtle nuances of architectural elements. The book features just 22 homes, chosen for their unique design language—houses that steer clear of the cliched “1950s TV show set” aesthetic. Instead, they draw inspiration from classic design traditions that feature the works of renowned architects like Arthur Elrod and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Modernism Meets Preservation
With a strong emphasis on historic preservation, “Inside Palm Springs” captures personal stories from residents that illuminate the cultural fabric of the community. Collectors of mid-century furniture and contemporary artists share their experiences within these remarkable structures, establishing a narrative that intertwines architecture with daily life.
Flood has stated that the Palm Springs architectural scene has transformed over the years, setting new benchmarks in design. As he continues to work in real estate alongside his photography, he aims to bring the same level of artistry to every listing. His dual passion for architecture and design threads through each project, building a seamless connection to the rich history and culture of Palm Springs.
The Future of Desert Design
As Don Flood looks towards his next project, perhaps another book documenting Palm Springs’ distinctive homes is on the horizon. His vision encapsulates more than just photography; it is about celebrating design, sustainability, and the importance of preserving architectural heritage. “People don’t level houses and rebuild,” Flood shares. “They take incredible houses, whether midcentury or contemporary, and try to restore them.” This mindset fuels a broader cultural appreciation that elevates the community and engages potential buyers seeking not just houses, but stories and histories within their new homes.
A Call for Architectural Appreciation
