Following his exit from office as US President, Barack Obama and his family have gone on vacation in a really exquisite place.
After handing over the keys to the White House to President Trump on Friday, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama with their kids retreated to this stunning 11,000-square-foot stucco home in the Palm Springs area of Southern California for a little time off.
Built in the early 1970s by architect Howard Lapham, the home (nicknamed Icha Mayapan, or “exclusive estate”) is a standout example of Mayan Revival design, a popular midcentury style influenced by several Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes from the 1920s, including the Hollyhock and Ennis houses in Los Angeles.
