Architect Sean Lockyer designed a 5,760-square-foot concrete, stucco, and ipe home for a couple and their three children in the Southern California desert town of Indian Wells. The residents selected the home's furnishings, including the Royal Botania chaise lounges.
Dappled sunlight and reclaimed-wood floors and walls give the master bedroom a warm, peaceful feel. Giant sliding doors open onto a wraparound deck peppered with potted plants
from the couple’s vacations in Brazil, Uruguay, the Netherlands, and Italy.
Kartheiser's courtyard also includes a dry sauna with a ceiling made from 2,500 pieces of wood.
