At a Blue Sky prototype house just north of Joshua Tree National Park, each room has a door to the outside, providing easy and quick access to the two and a half acres of natural landscape. Sliding doors contrast with wood paneling to ensure a balance of light and shade on the interiors, while clerestory windows provide even, non-direct light.
