The Pasadena Bubble House with Detached Studio & Bomb Shelter | 1097 S Los Robles Ave
Celebrated architect Wallace Neff designed grand residences for some of California’s most powerful and recognizable figures, among them Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Groucho Marx, and Judy Garland. Yet for all the acclaim attached to those estates (which included Pickfair, the legendary mansion that was the epicenter of Golden Era Hollywood in the 1930s), Neff reportedly considered his modest Airform, or “bubble,” houses the defining achievement of his career.

Love, Light & Concrete: Valentine’s Day for Los Angeles Architecture Lovers
Los Angeles is one of the rare cities where romance is written not just in gestures, but in architecture, in steel, stone, glass, and light. This Valentine’s Day, the most memorable dates don’t require prix-fixe menus or velvet ropes, but curiosity, conversation, and a shared love of beautiful spaces. From modernist landmarks and mid-century masterpieces to civic monuments and cultural institutions, most of these experiences are entirely free, proving that the city’s greatest luxury is access itself, to design, history, and moments that feel quietly, enduringly intimate. This Valentine’s Day, forget the predictable reservations and let the city’s most beautiful buildings do the seducing.

Palm Springs Modernism Week: Come for the Architecture, Stay for the Cocktails
Palm Springs Modernism Week is the annual festival when the desert becomes a curated, lived-in museum of mid-century modern design and a place where the era’s most enduring ideas still feel current and fresh. From February 12–22, 2026, the eleven-day festival brings together architecture lovers, design collectors, and anyone who enjoys a good cocktail party with a view, offering tours of architecturally significant homes, landmarks, and historic buildings that are rarely open to the public, along with lectures, exhibitions, films, and after-hours gatherings that keep the conversation going long after sunset. In the end, Modernism Week isn’t really about nostalgia; it’s about continuity. These homes, tours, and conversations prove that mid-century modernism was never meant to be precious or frozen in time. It was an ethos meant to be lived in, argued with, and occasionally the setting for a very good party. For eleven days each February, Modernism Week proves it still knows how to do all three. We’ve curated the festival’s highlights, must-see shows, and can’t-miss house tours to help you make the most of this year’s celebration. Discover the full lineup of Modernism Week events and secure your tickets here.
