Is it a desert mirage? Err, homage<\/em>?<\/p>\n

You know a design style is truly a classic when it inspires incredible, new work for decades beyond its origin.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what Los Angeles restaurateur\u00a0Beau Laughlin<\/strong>\u00a0and his actress wife,\u00a0Lindsey Gort<\/strong>, achieved in Palm Springs<\/a>. The pair built a brand-new, midcentury modern-style masterpiece<\/a> from the ground up, with the help of prominent Palm Springs architect\u00a0Sean Lockyer, of Studio AR+D. <\/a><\/p>\n

After entering the market in early June for $5.1 million, the five-bedroom, five-bath home caught a buyer\u2019s eye and is in contingent sale status.<\/p>\n

Desert modern design<\/h2>\n

The home features the traditional single-story, clean lines, and organic materials prescribed by the original masters of classic desert modernism. But this beauty also boasts the most current technology for a thoroughly modern dwelling.<\/p>\n

Laughlin and Gort employed a timeless design technique before building began\u2014they spent hours on the property, observing where the best light fell at different times of day and considering the views from each room.<\/p>\n

They situated the structure on the nearly half-acre lot, so the sweeping mountain and desert vistas could be enjoyed at all times.<\/p>\n

One example of the view-centric design includes Fleetwood glass, pocket sliders that face the iconic San Jacinto Mountains.<\/p>\n

To maximize the landscape views, the building team constructed the home with two wings connected to the main living space by a double-sided, glass breezeway. This striking feature overlooks the pool, surrounding desert, and outdoor entertainment spaces.<\/p>\n

The home is built primarily of durable and sustainable materials, including concrete, wood, stone, and steel. Natural stone is particularly prominent in the kitchen and bathrooms.<\/p>\n

Built with ecology in mind, the home is kept cool in the summer and warm in the winter by high-density, eco-spray, foam insulation. In addition, solar panels offset approximately 80% of the home\u2019s energy needs. Tankless water heaters also conserve one of the desert\u2019s most precious elements.<\/p>\n

Luxe outdoor amenities include a resort-sized pool and spa, a fully outfitted outdoor kitchen, a conversation area surrounding a fire pit, tasteful desert landscaping, wood decking, and a cantilevered pergola.<\/p>\n

Laughlin designed and served as general contractor on a number of award-winning Los Angeles<\/a> restaurants, including The Hudson, The Churchill, Clover, and Fifty Seven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gort is perhaps best known for playing Samantha Jones in \u201cThe Carrie Diaries\u201d but has also had prominent roles in TV series such as \u201cImpastor\u201d and \u201cAll Rise.\u201d<\/div>\n
