A pair of Los Angeles-based architects intend to restore and “Save the Wave.”

Father and son Gilbert and Christian Stayner, of Stayner Architects, were the successful bidders on a historic but deteriorated Palm Desert home when it went to auction on Saturday, Feb. 24.

The Stayners won the auction with a high bid of $360,000, according to Heather Horning, a city official.

The city of Palm Desert had announced it was offering up to $50,000 in matching funds to someone willing to buy and restore the house with the iconic wave-shaped roof.

The city and the Historical Society of Palm Desert called the home at 73697 Santa Rosa Way “an important example of Palm Desert’s midcentury modern architectural heritage.”

Following the auction, Christian Stayner was quoted on Archpaper.com as saying, “We are planning to work with the City of Palm Desert to make the restored residence – plus a new accessory structure that we will design and build – available to the public for overnight visits as well as for special events and educational purposes.”

Horning said the auction attracted a handful of registered bidders and lasted only five minutes.

By law, the city was required to sell the home to the highest bidder. So anyone could have bought the house, torn it down and built something else.

The house was designed by celebrated architect Walter S. White in 1955. He was known as an experimental architect who built more than 50 structures in the Coachella Valley, mostly in Palm Desert, in the mid-1950’s-early 1960’s.

Noted for his original roof designs and corner windows, he also created prefab housing and experimented with solar energy.

The home was built for Miles C. Bates, described as an “unconventional” artist who “excelled at racing European sports cars and was twice arrested for marijuana possession in the 1950s,” according to historical accounts. He died in 1976.
