Located in the historic Thunderbird Country Club Estates, Palm Pacific Construction, in collaboration with Architect Jill Lewis, masterfully renovated the iconic Barry Estate. Once home to New York congressman Robert R. Barry and host to figures like Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Fords, this 1952 gem was transformed, highlighting its mid-century origins. The project emphasized clean lines, a disciplined palette of white, grey, and matte black, and an indoor-outdoor experience that captures the stunning views and shifting daylight of Rancho Mirage. Key features include a Spanish terrazzo-like porcelain tile, white walls, and matte black metal accents, reflecting a modern elegance with a masculine finish.

The mid-century architectural influence in Palm Springs can’t be ignored, but after ten years living, working and raising a family in Beijing, Hong Kong and currently Buenos Aires, I couldn’t help but bring an usual mix of influences to this very personal project; a vacation home for my family.

Having settled into my office space on Tahquitz Canyon Way, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the attention to detail that went into the reconstruction of this cool building. A building that was left as an eyesore on the main boulevard in the city for many years, thanks to you, has returned to its glory.

We are proud to have Palm Pacific Construction’s first new construction. Having seen his substantial portfolio of luxury remodels and pool houses, we knew Scott Cullens was the perfect choice to build our dream home. He exceeded our expectations and six years later our house is a beautiful testament to the quality of a PPC home. It’s gratifying to see that PPC has gone on to become one of the leading firms building custom luxury homes in the Coachella Valley.

We have worked with Palm Pacific Construction, Scott Cullens and his dedicated team not just once, but twice. We had purchased a completely tragic home in 2012, which needed a full restructure and redesign. With Scott’s attention to detail and ability to create miracles, we ended up with one of the most beautiful homes in our neighborhood. In 2018, we decided to add a Casita and we immediately approached PPC and Scott, and embarked on our second very successful collaboration and build together. We love our home and highly recommend Scott, Steve and the entire team at Palm Pacific Construction.

We knew Scott Cullens personally and watched his first new construction years ago from the ground up. We were friends with the owners of the project and kept up on the progress “from afar”. Scott’s attention to detail was astounding and the crew at Palm Pacific Construction seemed to have the exact same eye.

We heard about Scott Cullens and Palm Pacific Construction through a good friend in Palm Springs. He was highly recommended as professional and doing quality work,with great taste when you need advice and they did not disappoint. This will be our forever home so we had great comfort in knowing we were taken care of when we werenot there. When we are there, we love showing off our house. It is beautiful and it is our paradise. Thank you Scott and your amazing team for giving us something to be so proud of!!!

We knew Scott Cullens from our time living in Palm Springs and saw the beautiful homes he designed. When we moved to Las Vegas we took a chance and called Scott. Without hesitation, he accepted the challenge! Construction, in the confines of a high-rise condominium, is not easy. Scott’s reach for perfection is unmatched. The design and finishes are exquisite, and coming home after a long day’s work to relax in such beautiful surroundings is more than we hoped. The best is when we hear whispers at the HOA meetings that “ours is the best condo in the entire building!"

I met Scott Cullens and his team at Palm Pacific Construction when I commissioned him to build my new home in Palm Springs. It wasn't your ordinary project, as I was both the owner and the architect, and was living in Buenos Aires, Argentina throughout construction. Not only did I need someone I could trust completely, but I needed someone who was able and willing to remain in near-constant contact with me a continent away. Scott deftly adapted to a routine of almost daily video conferences, text messages all while managing different time zones to make everything come together. Even with the most detailed plans, I know that contractors make hundreds of judgement calls every day in the course of a project, and Scott is one of those rare contractors with whom I trust, as an architect, that responsibility. He quickly understood the design concepts I was after and kept true to the vision right along beside me, picking up the phone if he noticed anything that was striking the wrong note. Our collaboration throughout the project with Scott and his team was always a positive one. My family and I are thrilled with the house and couldn't be happier with the quality of the workmanship. Together we created a custom home that was featured in three design magazines, and won a Luxe Magazine national award for architecture. It is a testament to his skills as a builder and communicator that we continue to work together today for other clients.

Scott Cullens and the Palm Pacific Construction crew were reliable, easy to work with and accessible- all very important things when managing a project from Los Angeles. We could not be more impressed with Scott and his team- they exceeded expectations at every turn- quickly offering solutions to problems with an unmatched eye for design and detail. The incredible value with PPC is that you are getting design consultants along with an amazing construction crew. We met with several companies- it was not even close- Scott and the PPC team moved fast with a proposal. It was clear Scott took the time to truly reimagine our property instead of providing the same generic Palm Springs cookie cutter designs we saw from numerous other contractors. We choose PPC because Scott and the team had a strong point of view with a clear vision to execute and transform our property into the timeless Palm Spring home we imagined. The pricing is fair and transparent- you are getting an outstanding value beyond the construction- Scott is an incredible design resource and works with only experienced well vetted subcontractors. The PPC team and their vendors were easy to work with, on time, fair and transparent. They all acted with the utmost respect and the worksite was spotless. The recommendations and design aesthetic of PPC down to the smallest detail truly set PPC apart from other contractors. Scott takes the time to review and inspect each phase of construction in turn providing the best quality of work from his crew for each homeowner. To improve the overall look, feel and flow of the home Scott was always willing to lend a hand and be a resource well beyond a typical contractor offering his input on things like tile, cabinets and even landscape.
