Situated on 79 beautifully landscaped acres in the Indian Canyons area of South Palm Springs, home to 254 one story condominiums consisting of duplex and stand-alone floor plans, with 15 pools, 12 spas, 2 sports courts and a 9-hole Executive Golf Course, Charles Du Bois brought developer Roy Fey's vision to create a "full-service resort community" to life.

Tour 6 privately owned homes, each decorated to suit each of their individual lifestyles, and see how today's homeowners both honor and update Du Bois' original architectural design.

Du Bois's distinctive design for Canyon Estates carry many of his hallmarks; shady atriums with double door entries "casket-pull" door handles, great rooms with soaring ceilings, exposed rafters, clerestory windows and walls of sliders opening to ample patios with breeze block surrounds, and exterior cladding of stucco and a variety of Palo Verde stacked stone. In the Canyon Estates Clubhouse, with its porte-cochere, strong horizontal rooflines and dramatic stone entry, guests will find a display of architectural plans and historical information about the community.
