A new dawn
in the heart
of the desert.
Welcome to The Amana — a modern desert residence set within the Desert Palisades community at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains. Surrounded by native landscape and dramatic rock formations, the home is thoughtfully sited to balance privacy, openness, and a strong connection to its natural surroundings.
The name The Amana, derived from the Spanish word for dawn — amanecer— reflects the spirit of the home itself. Symbolizing new beginnings, hope, and the start of a new chapter, the name aligns with the project's modern design language and its enduring sense of optimism.
Designed by Asia Zdziarska of ARCHEMY.LA — an award-recognized studio known for its contemporary interpretations of modern desert living — the architecture reimagines mid-century modern principles through a refined, forward-looking lens. Clean lines, open interiors, and expansive glass define the home's design, allowing natural light to move freely while framing sweeping views of the surrounding desert.
Spanning over 4,000 square feet, The Amana is organized around open, flowing spaces designed for both everyday living and refined entertaining. Generous communal areas are balanced by private retreats, while outdoor terraces, a resort-style pool, and thoughtfully designed exterior rooms extend the living experience year-round.

The Desert Palisades Community
in the City of Palm Springs
Palm Springs’ Final Hillside Sanctuary
Perched along the rugged terrain of Chino Canyon — one of the most storied landmarks in the Coachella Valley — Desert Palisades is Palm Springs’ last and most coveted hillside community. Among 110 exclusive private homesites, the land rises dramatically from the desert floor toward alpine heights, creating a visual and experiential transition found nowhere else on the continent.
A Landscape That Cannot Be Replicated
Every homesite at Desert Palisades has been individually placed to honor the land's natural contours — with unique topography, varied elevation, and distinct view lines that ensure no two residences share the same perspective. By design, there are no flat-graded pads and no mass grading. Only architecture that truly belongs to its site.
