A Pastel Pink Midcentury in Palm Springs Hits the Market at $2.9M
Designed by celebrated architects Albert Frey and Robson Chambers, this historic residence has serious curb appeal.
Located in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood of Palm Springs, 1415 N Camino Centro is a 2,792-square-foot residence whose pastel pink, geometric form is set off by palm trees and desert sky. Designed in 1964 by midcentury master Albert Frey and Robson Chambers, it also features original aluminum sunscreen grilles on the facade designed by John deKoven Hill, a Frank Lloyd Wright pupil and editorial director of House Beautiful.
The home's pretty pink facade is offset by aluminum grilles. Providing shade as well as decoration, the grilles were designed by John deKoven Hill, lead architect in the office of Frank Lloyd Wright who took over the firm upon Wright’s passing in 1959. "We believe that the screens were a choice of the original owners as indicated by the plans," says listing agent Chris Menrad.

The residence was originally built for Carl E. Haymond, a prominent TV and radio station owner from the Pacific Northwest. In 2016, it was purchased by Atlanta-based interior designer Bill Stewart, who then embarked on a spectacular, seven-month renovation—documented in Palm Springs Life—that transformed the home into the gem that it is today. In fact, the residence was recently listed as a Class One historic site by the city.
The three-bedroom, three-bath home opens to travertine flooring. An aluminum grille divider echoes the ones on the facade, while built-in wood cabinetry fit the alcoves that frame the fireplace.
