THE BLACK DESERT HOUSE
Yucca Valley, California
Beyond shelter, Black Desert House is an
artistic counter-point to a landscape born of fire,
and sculpted over the last 100 million years.
Conceived to read as a shadow cast within
great piles of monzogranite boulders, the
residence offers the quintessential desert
experience: immersion into the timelessness o
f
the vast desert panorama. By day the residence
protects like a cave, at night it dissolves in the
surrounding array of stars. Informed by the
modernist aesthetic, the geometry of the
structure minimizes distractions, while curtain
glass walls eliminate indoor-outdoor distinc-
tions. The public spaces open to the sheltered
entry courtyard, broad view terraces, and the
private
swimming pool. Sited at a co
oler
elevation of over 4000 feet on 2.5 acres, the
gated residence includes open-plan living
areas, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 2-car carport.
