The Kaufmann House (a.k.a. Kaufmann Desert House) is a house located in Palm Springs, California, that was designed by architect Richard Neutra in 1946.
It was one of the last domestic projects conducted by Neutra, but it is also arguably one of his most famous homes.
It is "one of the most important examples of International Style architecture in the United States and the only one still in private hands", and was recently up for sale.

Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or house:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“If you feed a man, and wash his clothes, and borne his children, you and that man are married, that man is yours. If you sweep a house, and tend its fires and fill its stoves, and there is love in you all the years you are doing this, then you and that house are married, that house is yours.”
—Truman Capote (20th century)
