Step into living art at the Space Age Atomic House, Palm Springs’ most authentic mid-century modern retreat in the heart of Twin Palms. This 1-of-1 Cary Bigman Atomic Ranch Style Home, originally constructed in 1962 and meticulously restored, captures the essence of space-age modernism with authentic 1960s finishes, period-accurate décor, and the iconic flying saucer canopy. Walls of glass and Fleetwood aluminum windows and sliders open to a private, hedged oasis with a heated pool and mountain views — pure Palm Springs perfection.
Located in Twin Palms—Palm Springs’ first full mid-century modern neighborhood and one of its most exclusive, highest price-per-square-foot communities—this Cary Bigman architectural home represents a true Atomic Ranch restoration. Painstaking efforts were made to preserve the home’s 1960s integrity, maintaining original features, materials, and finishes while curating period-accurate décor and designer pieces that celebrate its space-age heritage.
The residence showcases Bigman’s signature circular “flying saucer” roof canopy and orbital living-room ceiling—dramatic hallmarks of his futuristic modernism. Inside, walls of glass, a custom circular sofa, and a Bigman-style stone fireplace anchor an open, light-filled living space. Restored with purist attention to detail, the home’s architectural Fleetwood aluminum windows and sliders open the interiors to sunlight, mountain views, and the effortless indoor–outdoor flow that defines Palm Springs living.
Each of the three bedrooms offers private slider-door access to the outdoors, ideal for morning coffee or an evening swim. The ¼-acre, south-facing lot is fully hedged for complete privacy, with a heated pool, mountain views, and designer outdoor furniture that blend mid-century charm with resort comfort.
Modern amenities include fast Wi-Fi, smart TVs, central air, and E-Scooter rentals for cruising to downtown just minutes away. Whether you’re a design enthusiast or simply seeking a private, stylish retreat, this authentic mid-century modern icon delivers a timeless and unforgettable Palm Springs experience.
