William and Margaret Siemon Residence 755 Camino Norte, Palm Springs, CA 92262
Conceived as a lightly-framed glass pavilion sheltered beneath a remarkably thin horizontal roof plane, the Siemon Residence represents a mature phase of Desert Modernism in which structure, enclosure, and landscape are reduced to their most essential elements. Designed for William and Margaret Siemon by architect William F. Cody, the residence was built by Siemon in 1967. Siemon was an established general contractor who developed custom homes, residential tracts, apartment buildings, and commercial properties, primarily in the South Bay and greater Los Angeles region. The Siemons occupied the home until their deaths in 2001 and 2005, respectively.
