Cody House / Peter Blake Gallery

Peter Blake Gallery from Laguna took over the Cody House by William F Cody for an exhibition they are calling BLAKEHAUS PALM SPRINGS

This was William Cody’s personal residence. He started designing the house in 1946, but it wasn't built until 1952. The construction is an interesting combination of adobe walls with a steel frame. The Cody family owned the house until it was sold to architect Francisco Urrutia, who worked for Cody from 1969-1974. Urrutia "updated" the house in the 1990s. The current owners, who purchased it in 2022, are Spanish architects Paula Bueso-Inchausti and Guille Castaneda. Their Palm Desert-based firm is Nomos RED and this isn't the only Cody house they own. The plan is to return some of the original features to the house. Also, apparently only architects are allowed to own this house.

Now to the art and design installation.

Peter Blake Gallery has a long history of showing California Light and Space works, like this large sculpture by Phillip K. Smith III. Look close and you can see a Natzler perched on the Pierre Chapo table, which is surrounded by Afra and Tobia Scarpa Soriana chairs.
