Palm Desert Home Sale

Introducing a rare architectural offering -- the personal desert retreat of noted architect Glenn N. Togawa (1946-2025), now presented by his estate. Located just outside the gates of the prestigious Vintage Club and minutes from El Paseo's world-class shopping and dining, this residence captures the essence of architectural vision and intimate desert living.Set on a private quarter-acre lot, the existing 1,335 sq. ft. home features one bedroom, two baths, generous open living areas, and an oversized two-car garage. Designed with sleek contemporary geometric lines, glass walls stacking doors allow seamless indoor-outdoor flow, reflecting Togawa's refined functional architectural sensibility. Built in 2015, this home was finished with top commercial grade materials, featuring an entire wall of glass that opens the main living area to the outdoor pool, spa and patio. Included in the sale are architectural sketches for an additional expansion (adding approximately 1,200 sq. ft. that could be imagined with 2 additional bedrooms and 2 additional bathrooms, or a generous primary with den), offering a rare opportunity to create a larger compound while preserving the architect's original intent.Togawa's influence extended far beyond this personal residence. A graduate of the USC School of Architecture, he was celebrated for commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects across California, including The Portside Ventura Harbor, University Gateway (USC-adjacent mixed-use housing), and the Union Center for the Arts -- his celebrated transformation of a historic church into a cultural landmark in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo. His work at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific further showcased his mastery of sculpture, scale and form.An architect, sculptor, and passionate collector and patron of Japanese American art, Togawa infused his work with heritage, creativity, and community. His Palm Desert retreat is more than a home -- it is a living tribute to a visionary architect and an opportunity for its next steward to inhabit and expand upon his enduring legacy.AVAILABLE FOR SHOWING when listing goes active 11/7/25
