In the Desert


I visited Joshua tree for the first time during spring break. It was amazing sleeping under the stars and exploring the desert and oasis. I also saw a bunch of cool homes on the outskirts of joshua Tree!


An article i came across today...
Rosa Muerta near Joshua Tree

"Robert Stone — former punk rocker, studio artist and now architect — has built a one-bedroom retreat called Rosa Muerta on the outskirts of Joshua Tree. Chrome columns rise from the sandy desert floor to support a ceiling plane clad with mirrors. Stone left the arid landscape that surrounds the property unaltered. "My architectural practice is more related to how artists work," he says. "I'm trying to do something amazing here. I learned as a kid doing my music that you have a right to come up with something brand new"

The minimalist structure has four rooms: a spacious outdoor living room with spa, fire pit and barbecue; a bedroom; a bathroom; and a small kitchen.
