About the host
Hosted by Mark Luellen
I’m a caretaker of beautiful things — someone who finds joy in preserving, curating, and sharing thoughtfully designed spaces. I’ve poured a great deal of time, energy, and love (not to mention money!) into creating my Palm Springs home, honoring its mid-century architectural roots while adding just the right modern touches.
Hosting allows me to share this special place with others who appreciate design, detail, and the unique spirit of Palm Springs. I’m looking for guests who will treat the home with the same care and respect that went into creating it — people who love beauty, relaxation, and a sense of place as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
This Palm Springs condo is located in Park Imperial South, a celebrated mid-century modern enclave designed by architect Barry Berkus in 1961. With just 30 residences, the community offers a rare blend of architectural significance and intimate scale. The property was officially designated a Historic District by the City of Palm Springs in 2016, a testament to its cultural and design value.
What I love most about this neighborhood is how it captures the essence of Palm Springs living — sun-drenched, stylish, and serene. The development showcases Berkus’s signature folded rooflines, clerestory windows, and crisp white concrete walls, all hallmarks of timeless desert modernism. It’s a place where form meets function, and where architecture was thoughtfully designed to embrace light, openness, and indoor-outdoor flow.
Being here feels like stepping into a design magazine — but lived in, relaxed, and real. The community is peaceful and well-maintained, with friendly neighbors, a shared appreciation for architecture, and proximity to everything you want from a Palm Springs getaway: hiking trails, vintage shops, galleries, restaurants, and the vibrant downtown core.
If you're drawn to design, history, and the beauty of the desert, I think you’ll love this neighborhood just as much as I do.
What makes this property unique
What sets this property apart is its perfect blend of architectural character and unbeatable location. Nestled in the heart of South Palm Springs, the home offers easy access to everything — from scenic mountain trails and top-rated golf courses to grocery stores, dining, and even popular pickleball courts, all just minutes away.
Beyond the convenience, what truly makes this home special is its setting in the historic Park Imperial South community, designed by renowned architect Barry Berkus. You’ll find striking mid-century design elements like folded rooflines, clerestory windows, and open-concept living spaces — all beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated.
Whether you're here to explore, unwind, or take in the iconic Palm Springs style, this property offers the authentic desert modern experience with all the comforts of home.
