An architectural sanctuary carved from the Palm Springs landscape
For this project, our aim was to capture the sculptural qualities of the home and its seamless relationship with the desert landscape. Working in the harsh Palm Springs light, we leaned into the sun’s intensity to highlight form, texture and reflection across the architecture and pool. The project was filmed using the RED Raptor and RED Komodo paired with Sigma Cine Zooms, balancing the precision of controlled interiors with the fluidity of handheld exterior work. We also used the DJI Mavic 4 Pro for dynamic aerials, revealing the geometry of the home set against the vast desert horizon.
