The Wave House (also known as Miles Bates House) was designed by modernist architect Walter S. White for the artist Miles C. Bates. White, who patented the design of the structure, created the curvilinear design from hundreds of wooden dowels with concave elements that are lined up closely together. Clerestory windows are then placed between the swooping roof and the exterior walls.
After being vacant for several years, Stayner Architects bought the one-bedroom house from the City of Palm Desert and committed to restoring the property to its former glory, after a series of owners and changes to the original design left the historic home dramatically altered.
