Reviews of Frey House II
"amazing spot, if you’re interested in modernism - a unique, special house to see. all original"
"If your into modern architecture and its design origins, then you can't get much more historic than this small house. Perched above Palm Springs with far reaching views, its built around a huge boulder that sits 1/2 within the house itself. Basic materials of glass, wood and aluminium and built in 1964. Walter Frey was a Swiss emigree, who was also a pupil of Le Corbusier. Magical."
"Beautiful home that captures the essence of mid century PS. The tour was good, but at $500 ($250.each for 2 people) it was overpriced."
