The Woods House: A Modern Masterpiece by Woods + Dangaran
Perched amid sculptural boulders in the hills above Palm Springs, The Woods House by Woods + Dangaran (2021) is a study in quiet harmony between architecture and landscape. Every gesture, from its elevated siting across a natural arroyo to its precise horizontal lines, reflects a deep reverence for the desert environment and the modernist legacy it inspires.

The home’s low, linear profile appears to hover gently above the terrain, its earth-toned plaster and textured concrete masonry rooting it firmly to place. Deep overhangs clad in warm brass catch the desert light, while expanses of floor-to-ceiling glass dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior, framing panoramic views of sand, sky, and stone.
A glass-enclosed bridge unites the home’s two wings, enclosing a central atrium that acts as both focal point and connective heart. Within, open spaces flow seamlessly outward through wide sliding glass panels, extending the great room to a generous terrace with pool, spa, outdoor dining area, and fire lounge creating beautiful choreography of light and shadow designed for desert living.
Woods + Dangaran’s restrained palette of natural materials and flawless proportions evoke the essence of desert modernism reimagined for the present day which is elegant, timeless, and profoundly attuned to its surroundings.
