A Palm Springs Inspired House With An Incredible Courtyard (House Tour)

- Paying homage to the style of Palm Springs, Tim Ditchfield Architecture integrates sleek, uninterrupted lines of the renowned Californian setting into the Las Palmas house. While drawing inspiration from the clients’ visit to Palm Springs and their experience at the iconic mid-century Kaufmann House, the architect ensures Las Palmas remains in harmony with the essence of Noosa Heads. “There seem to be a lot of parallels between Palm Springs and Noosa Heads, and I think a lot of that comes from a beautiful climate and a celebration of indoor-outdoor living,” says Oskar Booth, architect at Tim Ditchfield Architecture and project architect for Las Palmas.
Overlooking Noosa River, the waterfront location of Las Palmas offers sweeping vistas of the surrounding scenery. “We wanted to be sympathetic to the neighbourhood with this project, so from the riverside, it’s not a dominant form. It’s only two storeys and built in a small proportion, and it’s the same with the streetside, as we chose to set back the front fence,” says Oskar. Positioning the home along the river’s edge also creates an opportunity to utilise the street-facing facade for a sprawling landscape, blending boulders and cacti in the sculptural style reminiscent of Palm Springs.
Upon arrival, one is immediately welcomed by a native garden, leading into a courtyard that integrates indoor and outdoor areas - a hallmark of modernist architecture. “This is the crux of the project; you get to experience all the elements of the building and slowly take that in before you arrive,” says Oskar. Then, reaching a landing, one is afforded a view of the river and glimpses of the mangroves against the backdrop of Noosa. Descending a couple of steps leads to an area with a terrace that overlooks the river. “It feels like it’s hovering above the riverbank with no balustrade, and it really gives that intimate connection of river to house that we’re after.”
Many changes have been made to the house, alongside considered selections of art and decor scattered throughout. A utilitarian wing of the home also houses service amenities and guest bedrooms boasting a northern orientation overlooking the courtyard. Additionally, there’s an intimate main suite that resembles a luxury hotel, with framed views and an open-plan bathroom. “It is also fully appointed, so you don’t even have to go to the kitchen for a cup of tea,” notes Oskar.
The interior design showcases a diverse palette of materials, including aluminium, concrete, blackbutt timber and glass. Different types of concrete have been incorporated: a smooth form, an original board finish that adds texture and creates dramatic shadows, as well as honed concrete for a consistent appearance both inside and out. Given the owner works in the aluminium industry, this material features heavily throughout the house in unconventional ways. With great attention to detail, Las Palmas embodies Tim Ditchfield Architects’ combination of modernist aesthetics and contemporary interior design, resulting in a house that resonates with the essence of the Noosa Heads area.

Mid-century modernist architects really got it right and this house fits that ethos so well. Hard to tell this was built recently. Love it.
Beautiful home and courtyard.
Having a 911 is the new Barcelona chair. Seems like every house has one.

Best advice to all house owners of beach and river houses:
Make sure, the Porsche is your daily driver. Hide all other cars.
If you have a beautiful tiny house or an incredible apartment, replace the Porsche with a vintage Bicycle.
I love old Porsches.
The aluminum fences are indeed shining details of the project.
Love the use of the different cements. 💐💐💐

Lovely.
I love it!
YIIEW! Yeah Oscar!
Great location
I love that retro, mid-century vibe of the house! the build-in sitting and the stone fireplace with that view is in incredible! Water views are generally incredible and so well framed. I found it a bit too much when they also added raw concrete to mid-century. It took away from the look, in my view. At least in some places where it was too busy, with flooring, stone fireplaces, and eclectic furniture, AND raw concrete. Sometimes those white walls are really needed to calm the senses a bit. But, overall, beautiful design!
For some reason I always imagine a dystopian future with nature taking over these buildings. I think it's to do with the style of architecture on this channel.
Very nice !
Inspirational
Wow 😦
Este es un canal muy interesante ¡¡¡
Beautiful. Waiting for you to post the pictures on Instagram.
Amazing! Do you know the exact color code of the Porsche 911?
Stuning project!! Which song is playing on the last chapter?
Right sizing
I’m surprised at the seemles polished concrete or terrazzo floors, I don’t know how it’s made to last without developing cracks, anyone for the guide?
🥰🥰🥰
Does anyone have an ID on the white side table 0:22 , would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like a Tulip side table by Eero Saarinen (produced by Knoll).
@@uffeskammed2674 thank you!
6:18 what car?
This is a brilliant home but what about the car park or the garage? They are a part of most home owner's daily lives, and for some reason the architects don't seem to care about them.
nice house but insects🪰?
I had to pause and turn off this video when I saw the "open plan" bathroom in the upstairs suite...
good thrift in the retrospective narrative
