This vacation home was designed to emphasize the desert landscape and its harsh climate.
The desert, or rather, this primordial wilderness area that stretches around Palm Springs, fascinated Neutra. His 1927 book "Wie Baute Amerika" ends with images of houses of the Indian peoples of New Mexico and Arizona, praising their overlapping rooms, with terraces on the roof and the ability of mud brick to withstand inclement weather. Despite the neat precision of the Desert House, it evokes the spirit of the houses of those Indian tribes, which he admired so much.
Richard Neutra built a building in which the horizontal planes of the decks seem to float on transparent glass walls, giving the whole an overall look of lightness. On the other hand, to take advantage of the small slope of the plot, the house is almost fused with the landscape that surrounds it, because its volumes do not rise too much above the land, almost the entire house is on a single floor, except a small terrace which is accessed from outside. Beside the house, in a somewhat lower level, a swimming pool reflects its structure.
