The Kaufmann House in Palm Springs was designed by architect
Richard Neutra in 1946. I have seen this iconic home before but never took the time to look it up... and to tell you the truth, what I am drawn to design-wise these days have shifted to a more modern aesthetic, so now I am enamored by this home, but maybe a few years back, I would have floated right past it.
Anyway, as I was reading about the design elements, architect, etc., I realized that the house was commissioned by none other than Frank Lloyd Wright's
Falling Water original owners. Could you imagine being the forerunners of such fantastic pieces of art/architecture? Without the
Kaufmanns (Edgar the father being a Pittsburgh department store tycoon), there may not be a
Falling Water or
Kaufmann House - what a wonderful legacy/gift to leave behind just as
aficionados for the world at large.
