Stayner Architects restores modernist Wave House in California



Los Angeles practice Stayner Architects has restored a 1950s house in Palm Desert, California, which was designed by modernist architect Walter S White to feature a wave-shaped roof.
The dwelling was completed in 1955 for artist Miles C Bates and is named Wave House after its roofline.
White, who patented the design of the structure, created the curvilinear design from hundreds of wooden dowels with concave elements that are lined up closely together. Clerestory windows are then placed between the swooping roof and the exterior walls.

After being vacant for several years, Stayner Architects bought the one-bedroom house from the City of Palm Desert for $360,000 (£279,585) in a public auction during the Palm Spring Modernism Week in 2018.
The practice committed to restoring the property to its former glory, after a series of owners and changes to the original design left the historic home dramatically altered.
"Preservation is a way to honour the original design as well as the life the house has seen throughout its 64 years," said Stayner Architects.
"It's about allowing the house to exist across multiple time periods rather than making it an archive of the past. The Wave House is not so much a time capsule as it is a timeless space."

In order to make the home reflect how it was when it was first built, Stayner Architects referenced archival materials of the design held at the University of California Santa Barbara.
