Home of the Day: Modern and masculine in Rancho Mirage

Designed with a sense of grandeur, this contemporary home wears its modern, masculine style like a well-cut suit.

Situated to take advantage of the valley view below, the desert digs employ floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood glass walls that span 60 feet and open onto a covered loggia with an infinity pool and spa; there’s also a dual fire pit.

There’s visual drama inside as well, with a 10-foot-long fire display, a home theater, stainless steel panels suspended from the ceiling and a dining room surrounded by a moat of water.
