ARCHITECTURE: THE LAST WEXLER HOUSE

17

// DONALD WEXLER’S DREAM HOME The location for our May shoot took place in the last home designed by the late Donald Wexler, a mid-century architect who left his mark on Palm Springs. Wexler was in retirement when he agreed to build this last house for agent Marc Sanders, a close friend and real estate agent in the Palm Springs area.

The design of the home is both minimalist and considerate of the environment; orientation of the home is rotated by 45 degrees to take advantage of light and shade.

It is also wired for solar, as Wexler prefered sustainable design. Finally - this is the last of the architetct’s steel houses, a construction detail for which Wexler is best known for using. The cost to use steel instead of wood was over $200,000 and forced innovative design for plumbing and electrical.

Wexler’s mark can be felt throughout Palm Springs, a city that has embraced mid-century design like no other.

24 HOURS IN PALM SPRINGS EAT & DRINK

// AMIGO ROOM 701 East Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA

Head over to the Ace Hotel’s Amigo Room for a hip, rustic location. This is where all the hipsters chill and it doesn’t hurt that the pool is right outside. The Desert Facial is the drink to order if you like a refreshing vodka concoction.

// NORMA’S 4200 East Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA

Norma’s is where you go for an indulgent brunch with a group of friends. Start your morning right with a round of Bloody Marys or mimosas. The crispy Caesar salad arrives in an bowl crafted out of croutons and contains a generous serving of chicken or shrimp. If you need to hydrate, the house smoothie is on point.

// CHEEKY’S 622 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA

Cheeky’s is Palm Spring’s #1 brunch destination so make reservations beforehand. Order the bacon flight to start, add a Bloody Mary for “Course two” and finish with an entree of choice (they’re all delicious).

STAY

// PARKER PALM SPRINGS www.parkerpalmsprings.com

This is the place to stay when you want to impress your girl; the entire hotel is designed by Jonathan Adler and makes for a picturesque setting. Start with breakfast at Norma’s and have a classic steak dinner at Mister Parker’s where you’ll feel a Sinatra vibe.

// ACE HOTEL www.acehotel.com/palmsprings

Consider this a hipster haven, but don’t let that deter you from staying here. It’s where all the cool kids go and hang by the pool. Each room has a record player and vintage polaroids strewn on the walls. There’s nothing pretentious about The Ace and you’ll feel right at home.

VISIT

// PALM SPRINGS ART MUSEUM 101 Museum Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262

Get a dose of culture at this beautiful museum; inside you’ll find the works of Warhol, Calder, Lichtenstein, and more. Head to the third floor to see contemporary works and don’t miss out on Duane Hanson’s Old Couple on a Bench - it’s where art imitates life.

// ROBOLIGHTS 1077 East Granvia Valmonte, Palm Springs, CA

Enter artist Kenny Irwin Jr.’s eerie, magical world; the artist has spent his entire life building out a majestic world consisting of colorful robots. Imagine Tim Burton’s take on classic Disney films, and you’ll understand the vibes of this park. The odd location makes it stand out in the Movie Colony district, where Sinatra’s estate is around the corner.

CHILL WITH MODEL TIFFANY KELLER

21

// TIFFANY KELLER Tiffany Keller, AKA TK, is one of the babes in our spring campaign shot in Palm Springs and Joshua Tree. A San Diego native, TK is a chill kinda gal - the kind you can comfortably go to a movie with, grab drinks, and hang out with as you might with the bros. We sat down with her behind-the-scenes and got to know her a little better: Where are you from?

I was born and raised in San Diego. It’s one of the most amazing places, in my opinion, especially after I left the nest, traveled to other countries, and moved to a different city.

What are some of your favorite things to do in LA? I’m very active and adventurous, and love all the options LA has to offer. If I had to choose, it would be hiking, going to the beach, and eating out - those are probably my most frequent activities.

Is there a model or actor that inspires you?

Kate Moss Adriana Lima Sophia Loren Bridget Bardo Karlie Kloss Claudia Schiffer What are your favorite instagram accounts?

Aside from my beautiful friends: @boysdontplaywithbarbies @beautifuldestinations @livegreenhealthy @nasa @sportscenter @perfectvideos

Do you have any favorite restaurant to go to and any dishes you recommend ordering?

I’m a huge foodie and I love to cook. LA has so many options, and it really depends on my mood and what part of the city I’m in. Here are some places I’ve gone to recently: Cafe Gratitude Faith & Flower Sugar Fish Toca Madera Daikokya (order the spicy miso ramen) Spitz (order the Street Cart Döner) Osteria Mozza 22
