"The Koerner Residence was designed in 1955 by E. Stewart Williams for the Vancouver -based couple of Leon and Thea Koerner in the Deepwell neighborhood of Palm Springs . The house was placed on a flat parcel with a panoramic view of Mt. San Jacinto to the west, sharing the upswept roof of Williams’ earlier Edris Residence. Floor to ceiling windows bring abundant light into the wood post -and -beam dwelling . Internal courtyards wrapped in glass enclose planting and water features. The ubiquitous swimming pool outside of the living room features a shaded resting area near the pool steps. The celebrated Los Angeles -based firm of Eckbo, Royston and Williams designed the property’s landscaping , much of which remains extant . Overall, the Koerner Residence exhibits a high level of integrity ." (visit link)
