This home was built by production designer Ken Adam in Palm Springs in 1971. The home incorporates rugged rock outcroppings to create a massive circular concrete and glass structure.
It was used as a backdrop in the 007 film “Diamonds are Forever” where it was used as a set for the villain’s lair where 007 met up with two formidable femme fatales named Bambi and Thumper.
To paraphrase a line from the Ian Fleming novel, “Nothing is forever but diamonds, death and great architecture.” This home remains true to the cool and timeless secret-agent style that is James Bond.
