Tamarisk Ranchos II

Modernist Oasis & Desert Legacy

Nestled within the storied enclave of Tamarisk Ranchos II, not I, but its equally cap­ti­vating coun­ter­part — this mid-century modern interior by Studio Cadette honors both archi­tec­tural heritage and modern sen­si­bility. With its roots inter­twined with Hollywood’s elite, including Groucho Marx and Eden Hartford, the home cel­e­brates desert modernism with a refreshed narrative. We reimag­ined interiors for relaxed luxury, working alongside the landscape, the community’s signature pool, and the poetic history of Rancho Mirage, crafting an elegant fusion of legacy and con­tem­po­rary comfort.

“We didn’t just elevate a home — we cel­e­brated its heritage, layering mid-century modern with a new kind of clarity.”

— Courtney Fikri

Each space reflects the original mid-century ethos, updated with calm restraint and purpose. Clean lines and rich mate­ri­ality honor the legacy of Palmer & Krisel while fore­grounding modern detail. Social moments, from poolside lounging to indoor gath­er­ings, feel as timeless as the community itself.

“This home doesn’t just reference history; it lives within it, with every surface echoing a story beyond the walls.”

Tamarisk Ranchos II sits at the con­flu­ence of time. Steeped in legacy, book-captured in Mod Mirage, and framed by the golden age of Rancho Mirage, this project is less about redesigning a space and more about stew­ard­ship. Studio Cadette’s layering of interior warmth, smart min­i­malism, and community context creates a home that belongs to both its era and ours.
