The Modernism Week Showhouse: The Christopher Kennedy Compound returns for its fifth year. Interior designer Christopher Kennedy brought together 14 of the nation's most prominent and rising-star interior designers to create unique rooms in the official Showhouse of Modernism Week, which has been named by The Hollywood Reporter as the week’s “No. 1 Must-See Event.”

Set on a golf course in the posh Indian Canyons neighborhood, this spectacular 1962 property is 3,600 square feet and features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus an attached guest house. Just in time
for Modernism Week, it went through a complete renovation spearheaded by Kennedy. This remodel respects the modernist property’s architectural pedigree, while updating it with the best and brightest materials in modern design.
Dunn-Edwards Paints was the exclusive paint sponsor to the home, which featured a colorful palette of hues throughout the design.
