Walk the former Arthur Elrod studio. Champagne, conversation, and the space that shaped mid-century Palm Springs design. The architectural lighted ceiling. The original riveted door. 4,180 SF of history on the corridor.
Hosted by Open + Range and Clozing CRE at Windermere Commercial Palm Springs, in partnership with Palm Springs Cultural Center. The space is available for long-term lease — this is your chance to see it while it breathes.
Meditation and sound inside the former Arthur Elrod studio — beneath 850’s own architectural lighted ceiling. Works by artist Jenna Marie Hansen. Walk in, look up. No experience required.
Two formats: midday sound bath and late afternoon breathwork. 30–45 minutes. Open to the public. The first in an ongoing series of Open + Range activations across the Coachella Valley.
Arthur Elrod arrived in Palm Springs in 1947 and spent the next two decades defining what the desert interior could be. His firm, Arthur Elrod & Associates — established on Palm Canyon Drive in 1954 — shaped the interiors of the most celebrated mid-century homes in the Coachella Valley, working alongside architects including John Lautner, William Cody, Donald Wexler, and Hugh Kaptur.
850 N Palm Canyon Drive was his studio from 1968. The building's architectural lighted ceiling, the original riveted entry door, the proportions of the showroom — all reflect the design language his firm brought to the corridor and to the world.
Elrod died in 1974 in a car accident in Palm Springs. He was 49. The studio at 850 N Palm Canyon is one of the last remaining spaces directly connected to his practice. The space is now empty and ready for its next chapter. On June 12, come see if it aligns with what you are building.
The open house at 850 N Palm Canyon is presented in partnership with the Palm Springs Cultural Center, who are screening Arthur Elrod: Desert Cool on June 12 — a documentary exploring the life and legacy of the designer who built his studio at this address.
The two events are separate. The open house is here at 850. The film is at PSCC. Both celebrate Elrod’s legacy and the corridor he helped define.
