May 7, 2008

(Palm Springs, CA)—May 7, 2008—Palm Springs-based fractional management and  luxury vacation rental company HOMES RUN announces recent acquisition of the architecturally significant Glass and Steel House I in Palm Springs’ historic movie colony neighborhood for its luxury rental arm BEAU MONDE VILLAS.
“The Glass and Steel House I is architecturally awe-inspiring,” explains President Kevin Blessing. “We are looking forward to offering the home for private vacation rentals to lovers of contemporary modernist architecture in the desert. Sitting in the backyard and looking back at this house is an experience in itself as one revels at the sweeping lines of the home under a pristine sky. With a brand new construction, this house is meticulously detailed and designed with cutting edge colors, fabrics, and furnishing. It’s simply amazing.”

The Glass and Steel House, a 5,600 sq ft modern-architectural marvel designed and constructed by Brian P. Buchan, was inspired by the one of the most influential mid-century architects, Albert Frey. A 10-foot-tall, 900 pound, vertically-ribbed stainless steel front door is the portal to this astonishing residence.  Completed in 2007 it is a modern version of mid-century design with a soaring main roofline opposed by a secondary, Alexander-referenced half –butterfly roofline.  With construction of steel and polished concrete floors, this home is also eco-friendly. Walls disappear to allow the outside in, the inside out, and for every room to open up to stunning views Palm Springs is known for. In grand tradition of desert modernism designed homes, The Glass and Steel House I raises against the spectacular backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains, making a bold environmental statement.  

It is no wonder why this spectacular example of modern architecture has been featured in national television programs such as Spectacular Homes and numerous publications. Now, it can be experienced via rental by the most discerning and elite architectural buff.
