Excerpt from Architectural Digest August 2010 "As historic pedigrees go, this one was impeccable-a butterfly-roofed ode to desert-style Modernism believed to have been designed by the architect William Krisel, a pioneer of what became a classic Palm Springs aesthetic. The current owner engaged designer Jim Walrod to transform it "but the goal was not to make it a museum or a throwback. I wanted a residence of today." Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee occupied the house, an open floor plan, single-story love nest arranged around a swimming pool, at the peak of his career.In Bobby Darin's day, butterfly-roofed houses did not typically come with 4,500 square feet of terrazzo, spacious bathrooms swathed in Calacatta gold marble, black-and-gold marble fireplaces or a bar paneled in Turkish travertine.It's the kind of house that you feel comfortable in by yourself or entertaining a hundred people."
