Set on five acres in the beautiful California Desert, just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, this home blends rugged solitude with high-end design and sustainable innovation.
Every inch of the space was thoughtfully maximized to create a small-footprint home with the quality and detail of a Hollywood Hills estate. Shadow gap baseboards, flush door frames, and solid wood ceilings add to its modern aesthetic.
Built with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), the home is highly energy-efficient and designed for the extreme desert climate. Plus, the exaggerated roof line, allows winter sun to pour in to warm the house, yet shades the backyard in the summer! Expansive glass doors open to a landscape of native plants and striking boulder views. A custom wine bar, spa-like bathrooms, sauna, plunge pool and a chef’s kitchen bring luxury that is rarely found in under 1200sf.
More than just a home, this space was designed as an escape—a place to truly hear the silence of the desert. Whether seeking inspiration to create, space to reflect, or time to reconnect, this sanctuary offers a perfect balance of nature and design.
