Desert Surrealism

This home might give the illusion of staying in a quirky cubist sculpture, but inside it's got all the mod-cons necessary for an indulgent desert escape. Geometric windows offer glimpses of the Joshua Tree landscape, and with no TV to distract, you can immerse yourself in the surroundings – or dig into the collection of books and board games. An adjoining cube serves as a gazebo for shaded alfresco meals, while sunseekers can relax on a lounger or meditate between ancient boulders. And as night draws in, the hot tub is the perfect place for stargazing. The National Park is on your doorstep if you want to explore – but equally, this home might call for a totally unplugged retreat.
