La Quinta Modernism Week

Robert Andrew Millar is the founder of Robert Andrew Millar & Associates and a longtime member of The La Quinta Country Club. His role as organizer reflects a deep commitment to preservation, cultural advocacy, and thoughtful access. With decades of experience in real estate, law, and complex negotiations, Millar brings a rare blend of professional rigor and personal passion to the program. His approach is rooted in stewardship—connecting private homeowners with a global audience while honoring the responsibility that comes with preserving historically significant spaces. Rather than positioning the tour as a spectacle, Millar frames it as an act of hospitality: an opportunity to share knowledge, spark appreciation, and encourage long-term preservation.

While Palm Springs often dominates the modernism narrative, La Quinta offers a complementary perspective—one rooted in privacy, retreat, and long-term stewardship. The La Quinta Country Club served as a cornerstone for estate development during the mid-20th century, attracting discerning patrons who valued architecture as an extension of lifestyle. The neighborhoods surrounding the club illustrate how modernism evolved across the Coachella Valley, responding to both social and environmental conditions. This program invites guests to consider La Quinta not as an offshoot, but as an essential contributor to the region’s architectural legacy.
