Once facing demolition, Palm Desert’s Miles C. Bates house has officially been saved. All it took was a community movement called “Save the Wave,” a circus-like auction and a painstaking restoration to unlock its former glory.
Famous for its flamboyant wave-like roof, the Midcentury gem enjoys a storied past in the desert city.
Stayner, who runs the firm with his father, Gil, took on the project because he felt a natural camaraderie with White as an inventor, builder and architect. He stripped away everything beyond the original 800-square-foot floor plan and found a fortunate surprise in the process. To repair the iconic curving roof, he needed a rare type of old-growth wood and found plenty of it while demolishing the apartment buildings, so his team was able to salvage the lumber and re-mill it to match what they needed.
