Rancho Mirage.

Our practice in Desert, applied to Rancho Mirage.

The Coachella Valley's ultra-luxury ($5M+) market grew more than one hundred fifty percent year-over-year through 2025, driven by tax-refugee migration and a supply-constrained estate inventory. The Madison Club in Thermal and the guard-gated desert country clubs — Eldorado, Vintage, Tamarisk, Thunderbird — anchor the cultural and design conversation.

Our approach in the Desert centers the Mediterranean and hacienda lexicon Cerro already executes fluently. Courtyard plans, lime plaster, hand-worked tile, wrought iron, generous shaded outdoor rooms, and desert-adapted native landscape. The design problem is less about inventing a new vocabulary and more about translating our existing one to the climate and the light — which requires different material durability specs, HVAC sizing, and shading strategy than the coast.
