Retreat Testimonials
Palm Springs during Mid Century Modernism Week 2025 - where the sun kisses the desert landscape, and every corner hums with iconic design - was nothing short of spectacular.
My experience was a masterclass in seamless organisation. From the moment we were whisked away to each curated event, everything flowed effortlessly. No logistical hiccups, no stress - just pure, uninterrupted immersion in mid mod architectural brilliance. Every pick-up and drop-off was so smooth, allowing us to soak in the glamour and genius of mid-century modernism without a worry in the world.
Every meal was a destination in itself, set in legendary venues that told stories through their architecture, ambiance, and, of course, the fabulous fare. Whether it was sipping cocktails poolside at a historic modernist gem, swanning around Martyn Lawrence Bullard's pool and home or indulging in a beautifully plated dish inside a fabulously designed or architecturally significant space, the experience was as delicious as it was visually inspiring.
Andrew and Jillian, you both ensured that every detail was considered, making this trip not just a tour but a luxurious, enriching design pilgrimage.
Value for money? Absolutely. An experience I’ll never forget? Without a doubt.”

The TDC Palm Springs trip was an experience of a lifetime... The private house tours, the open homes, the insights into the local designers work, along with the chance to meet, talk and socialise with them... all just added up to such an incredible, fun experience.

The private home tours Andrew organised made the trip so special as this was something I would not have been able to experience without being part of this design trip. I really enjoyed the social aspect of the trip with all the wonderful lunches and dinners at classic design hotels and iconic restaurants.

I'm now just over a week back from what I can only describe as an extraordinary trip of a lifetime. I'm still floating on cloud nine and hope to maintain this feeling throughout the year and beyond.

The whole experience was inclusive, informative, inspirational, fun and exciting! So many 'wow' moments far outweighed any expectations that I had.
