72453 RANCHO ROAD

WAKING RANCHO ROAD When a world-class architect and interior designer bring their best to reimagine a historic home, their achievement pairs artful functionality with singular beauty, transcending any era.

So few homes dotted the picturesque rural landscape of 1940s Rancho Mirage that preserving them has hardly been a discussion. Ranchers and farmers were among the sparse homesteads settled on wide-open spaces that began and ended each day with a view to the pink Santa Rosas. Some 80 years later, the peace of their pastoral life lingers on in this quiet pocket of the increasingly cosmopolitan Coachella Valley. Built in 1946 as a modest California Ranch-style bungalow, this reawakened home on Rancho Road had been cherished by the same family for generations – until the current owners discovered it on the market in 2013. What others had disregarded, they sensed deserved a closer look.

Humble yet solid, and wearing barn-red paint, the house was sited toward the majestic mountain scenery in a way reserved for only the first few pioneering plots developed. Their purchase of an unassuming vacation home inspired years of dreaming about its vast possibilities. In 2019, the home entered the planning stages for a renovation of epic proportions. A property this rare, they agreed, should be entrusted only into the most skillful, and thoughtful, sets of hands. That is exactly where they placed it, brilliantly teaming renowned desert-modern architect and landscape designer Sean Lockyer of Studio AR&D and nationally celebrated interior designer Anthony Cochran for a most unique opportunity: evolve their historic residence into a modern-day masterpiece, all without disturbing its significant roots or even the trace of its original footprint upon the land. In a bold move, the owners asked their experts not to be restricted by budget. Such constraints would have compromised the outcome. The home, instead, far exceeded its own potential as architect and designer worked in exacting harmony – and throughout several years of construction – to preserve and adaptively reuse the existing structure while adding a contemporary extension.

The stunning new incarnation has doubled in square footage to encompass four bedrooms plus a media room while presenting subtly dramatic variations in its volumes, ceiling heights, and rooflines. Yet never once does it overstep its time-honored union to the setting. Lockyer and Cochran’s commitment to the home and its meticulously considered details shines in an exceptional and passionate use of space, light, color, texture, landscape, and materials. From the very point of entry, you are keenly aware: This house enchants with a bit of mystery, gradually solved once experienced. An intriguing blackened-steel box on the exterior is your portal, enfolding you in a newly created, oak veneer-enveloped foyer. In this cozy transition space, beguiling interiors infused with European influences and a remarkable juxtaposition of past and present reach in warmly on all sides. While some of the architectural details unpack themselves slowly in daily living (such as the ceiling reveal), others knock one over at a glance. The new addition is complete with a blackened steel pop-out window in the front elevation that connects the original house with the additions and imparts a surge of new energy to the essence of the 1940s.

“My experience with traditional décor on the East Coast allows me to bring a softer and more eclectic view to the table. While the stern-faced subject is out of character with the rest of the interiors, its contrast is what I love most. The portrait has become the conversation piece of the décor.” – Anthony Cochran

Inside this mirrored volume, Cochran opted to upend architectural modernity with a “decidedly antique and traditional painting,” and he sourced a Dutch portrait from the 17th century. In the cozy transition space of the entry foyer, beguiling interiors infused with European influences and a remarkable juxtaposition of past and present reach in warmly on all sides. To the left the living room marks the literal link between the original 1940s bungalow and the new, 1,700-square-foot addition. A quiet formality in the fireside furnishings instantly settles the soul, grounded by a stone masonry fireplace and the glass expanse that accesses the rear courtyard.

“Our approach to the interiors includes a nod to midcentury, without being reductive or expected. This meant few to no recognizable vintage pieces and no strong or obviously retro colors. Nods to Americana, Danish Modern, French 1940s, Italian Deco, and other influences informed the design. None were allowed to take over or dominate. – Anthony Cochran

Beyond the living room lies the dining area blended into the kitchen, where integrated Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances join a concealed wet bar with soft closures – glide open as desired. An evocative materials palette marries quartz countertops and

large-scale custom terrazzo tile flooring with planter beds built with stone masonry and Corten steel, which reappears for the outdoor shower. Collaborations with local craftsmen ensured all fabrication was executed with heritage quality.

Rancho Mirage has long been the home, second home, or winter retreat for those who have their choice of destinations the world over. The “Playground of the Presidents,” revered for its golf courses, dining, scenic byways, placid neighborhoods, convenience to both Palm Springs and down valley shopping and art galleries also claims the gem of Sunnylands Center & Gardens. The Annenbergs’ estate hosts global dignitaries while inviting the public to visit its spectacular gardens, walking trails, and events. For this contemporary home born out of an original desert homestead, the location was destined, and its modern-day destiny – low-profile solar panels and all – has been fulfilled. Where others might have brought a bulldozer, Lockyer and Cochran brought razor-sharp vision fueled by unbridled talent. Their blending of two worlds into a timeless retreat is made for all manners of desert living. The true trademark of the Rancho Road house is that it has been designed and curated with real moments in mind. From the most private to the most social, the most contemplative and introspective to the most graciously shared and recalled on occasions for years to come. This is a home that enlivens all of the senses, and whose enduring story is as exceptional as the experiences it encourages around every breathtaking turn.

“The overall design embodies a clean, contemporary aesthetic, brought to life with warm natural materials inside and out. The nearly neutral color scheme was client-driven, especially the use of black accents, which I absolutely love. A soft blue-grey has become my signature color. Who can say no to the various blue skies that surround us daily?” – Anthony Cochran

In the mosaic-tiled primary bathroom, a garden picture window is the backdrop for a sleek freestanding tub in Tuxedo black. The adjacent custom closet with curved shelving would give Barney’s a tinge of envy. But it is the primary bedroom that elicits a deep, contented sigh. The delicate sound of the glass sliding back on two sides leaves a disappearing corner of the room, open to an outdoor lounge set amidst the lushest green landscape a desert could hope for.

“Walls continue from the interior to the exterior, reinforcing a strong connection between the two. Coupled with glass and strategic openings, this design enhances the relationship between indoor spaces and the external garden and landscape. The kitchen, primary bedroom, and living areas are very open to the outdoors.” – Sean Lockyer

Lockyer’s powerful use of rough, hand-built stone walls in conjunction with the minimalism of cased openings, crisp lines, and monochromatic planes are remarkable in their own right. His unmistakable work becomes infinitely livable when layered with Cochran’s gentler sensibility for shape, hue, textures, and textiles, most of which lean “classic in nature to avoid a time-stamped look.” For this abode intended for intimate gatherings as well as parties for the history books, Lockyer pursued the landscape and the architecture simultaneously. Thus, his design seamlessly and cohesively connects with its surroundings. The centerpiece of the al fresco experiences might well be found beneath the architectural shade pavilion overlooking the pool. Clad in quintessential midcentury tongue-and-groove detail, the cabana pairs dining and lounging together in front of a stone fireplace. From myriad outdoor vignettes with fire pits, crane-positioned ancient boulders, and a board formed concrete fountain to the fruit tree orchard, cook’s garden, and five 100-year-old olive trees to befit the mature property, the exterior beckons with as many places to read a book or recall the day over a glass of wine as the interior does. Many angles soak up a view of the organic-shaped pool, which retains its original footprint and depth enhanced by new vertically placed tile and sun benches. Where better to admire the mountains? And the architecture?

ANTHONY COCHRAN From desert estates to Fifth Avenue pieds-a-terre, Anthony Cochran blends cultures, periods and styles to achieve interiors that are both personal and memorable. Grand rooms feel approachable. Small rooms feel special. Every detail of décor and lifestyle are considered in creating spaces that are at once sophisticated, indulgent and unintimidating. Trained alongside noted designers John Saladino, Victoria Hagan and Stephen Mallory, Anthony was also a senior style editor at Martha Stewart Living magazine during its most respected and influential period. Over the years, his own sense of style has both expanded and refined, and today his tasteful, inviting interiors create deep impressions and distinctive looks in estates, bungalows, lofts and apartments across the country.

SEAN LOCKYER Sean Lockyer is the founding principal and lead architect for studio AR&D architects. Sean grew up on the east coast and came from a family of real estate developers. His early influences stem from his family’s business as well as time spent working with his hands in various trades, before, during, and after his education at Philadelphia University. These experiences helped shape his passion for craft, attention to detail, and his work ethic as it relates to construction and the built environment. During and after his studies at university, Sean traveled abroad in Italy and Europe, South America, Southeastern United States, and finally to the West Coast where he opened a small practice in 2006. Sean’s choice for the direction of the firm has always been one that speaks to the craft and

alliance between both architecture and the landscape. Since its inception, the firm began to truly explore the poetic relationships of space and materiality amongst interior and exterior environments. Due to its rich modern history of architecture as well as the temperate climate, Palm Springs, California was a natural starting place for Sean to begin the practice and grow its craft. Sean continues to develop the deeper relationships and coexistence of material and space and their influences on our everyday lives. He has helped cultivate a body of work that is deeply influenced by the environment and the sense. He enjoys the time within the firm’s offices as much as on the construction sites working closely with the builders and craftsmen breathing life in to the firm’s designs.
