STAN ALAN SACKLEY, FAIA (1937-2001)
Sackley was born in Los Angeles County. He graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in architecture in 1951. In the early 1960s, prior to forming his own firm, Sackley partnered with Herman Charles Light. Sackley was never licensed as an architect but maintained a successful design firm in Palm Springs CA. He received national fame when his house for James Hollowell was featured in Playboy in April 1966. Sackley is best known for mid-century Modern homes along Caliente Drive. By 1986, Sackley had retired. If you have more information about him or his projects, please contact us.
1963 -
601 East Avenida Granada, Palm Springs, CA. A treat for
midcentury modern architecture fans: this is one of the
earliest residences (maybe the first) by Palm Springs
architect Stan Sackley, whose career flourished in the late
'60s and '70s. Fortunately, the architectural drawings for
the home still exist showing that Sackley was still in
partnership with his USC mentor and professor, Herman
Charles Light, FAIA, also chairman of the AIA's judiciary
committee.
The Simon Residence was an unusually
spacious (3800) square feet home for a young family.
Described in ads then as a "custom built, Spanish-style home
for luxurious fairway living" it borders the Indian Canyon
Country Club 5th Fairway. "Spanish-style" barely describes
the look. Its unusual design is more "Modernist Hacienda"
like Kaptur or Cody homes of the late 60s and early 70s.
Canted walls front and back offer privacy between living and
bedroom areas; along with the deep overhangs on the rear
elevation these features hint at the evolution in Sackley's
late-modern architecture.
