  In 1935, the then unknown architect Albert Frey dropped three boxes in the California Desert. It was a study in simplicity and minimalism. Nearly a century later, The Guthrie House retains its radical dramatic starkness that proves Frey's genius. In 2019, the home was fully renovated with entirely new systems by The Avi Ross Group using the finest materials and craftsmanship; 'The result: a chic zen-like retreat wreathed by staggering mountain views,' says the Los Angeles Times. As you approach the gated entrance of the expansive driveway, you enter a secluded oasis in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. The renovation touched all aspects of the home, including structural upgrades, plumbing, electrical, pool, stucco, drywall, roof, energy efficient doors, windows, and HVAC system, as well as a new detached pool house, outdoor bar and barbecue, four in-ground gas fire pits, and custom indoor doggie shower. The Guthrie House has been the backdrop of numerous fashion campaigns and architectural photo shoots, and written about by major international publications.

  An architectural masterpiece: Albert Frey's Guthrie House built in 1935 located in El Mirador is now being offered after a complete restoration and modernization by Avi Ross Group. ''Simple'' and ''Pure'' best describe Frey's work. He was the master of understatement, eliminating the insignificant, and in doing so, foreseeing the minimalist movement by decades. The re-envisioning of the home was no small task. It took extensive understanding and research into the original layout of the home. Discussions with Frey experts began the process, which included months of peeling back the decades of well-intentioned renovations to uncover much of the original Frey and the modern ''boxes'' dropped in the desert to emerge. The re-envisioning brings the Guthrie House up to today's standards, while maintaining many of Frey's original details.

  Albert Frey's 1935 Guthrie House re-envisioned! This iconic masterpiece sits in the El Mirador Corridor in the heart of central Palm Springs. 'Simple" and 'pure' best describe Frey's work. He was a master of understatement, eliminating the insignificant, and in doing so, foreseeing the minimalist movement by decades. The loving restoration of this house began with extensive research into the original layout of the home, discussions with Frey experts, months of peeling back layers to uncover Frey's original vision with his emphasis on the relationship of the buildings and the raw, California desert. With the Guthrie House, the focus was to integrate the natural desert into the home while accommodating the comfort of today's living standards. Cement flooring throughout, interior stucco on bathroom walls mimic surrounding mountains, range hood custom made, hand painted brick wall in kitchen mirrors Le Corbusier's Parisian apartment, pool designed as natural pond, panoramic mountain views!
