The Canyon Colony West Inaugural Home Tour: Exploring Timeless Modernism
$70 (1 hr)
We are thrilled to welcome you to the Canyon Colony West Neighborhood Home Tour. For the first time, we are opening the doors to 6 exceptional units in this hidden gem of South Palm Springs.
Canyon Colony West, often overlooked, was developed in 1972 by a consortium led by Paul T. Butler and Davis Factor, son of Max Factor and chairman of the renowned family cosmetics business. This small, exclusive enclave of just ten units was designed by the distinguished architect Leroy B. Miller, F.A.I.A. Miller, a prominent Los Angeles architect who brought his vision to life, creating a space that seamlessly blends with the rugged desert landscape of Palm Springs.
Nestled within the neighborhood of Canyon View Estates, Canyon Colony West exemplifies low-density living. Spanning over two and a half acres, the colony represents a departure from traditional housing concepts, with its clean lines, minimalist aesthetic, and integration of indoor-outdoor living spaces, reflecting the ethos of modernism prevalent during its construction.
The tour will feature two distinct floor plans, both thoughtfully designed. One of the units on the tour has been owned by the original family that purchased it in 1972 and retains several original features.
Join us for a unique opportunity to explore the architectural beauty and serene living environment of Canyon Colony West. Its inclusion in the 20th Anniversary of Modernism Week serves not only to celebrate its historical significance but also to ensure its preservation for future admirers of midcentury Modern architecture.
