Palm Springs is noted for its mid-century modern architecture, a tradition that grew out of the aesthetics of the world renowned German Bauhaus and is reflected in the work of Albert Frey (who designed the Palm Springs city hall, tram station, Movie Colony Hotel and airport), Donald Wexler, Richard Neutra, E. Stewart Williams, and other world-famous architects.

A home developer, Alexander Homes, popularized this post-and-beam architectural style in the Coachella Valley. Alexander houses and similar homes feature low pitched roofs, wide eaves, open beamed ceilings, and floor to ceiling windows. Restoration projects are now being undertaken all over the city to return these homes and businesses to their original condition. Students of mid century architecture and design come to the city to study its heritage in this unusual style of the decorative arts.

Palm Springs is sheltered by the Little San Bernardino Mountains to the north, the Santa Rosa Mountains to the south, and the San Jacinto Mountains to the west.
