This house, currently owned by artist Beverly Doolittle and her husband Jay, is a stunning example of architecture blending into its environment. So much so that it seems odd that we haven’t seen this gem on our radar before. But now the building is on sale, and has drawn the attention of the interwebs due to its inventive design by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg.
This has been a project in the making for quite some time. Back in 1988 Beverley and Jay tracked down Kellogg to show him their desolate 10 acre property in southeastern California.
‘He was jumping all over the rocks like a mountain goat. He had been looking for rocks to build on,’ Beverly told the Desert Sun.
With a license to pursue his creative vision, Kellogg came up with this skeletal structure, coloured to blend into the dusty landscape, perfectly complementing the beautiful desert light.
The project took a long time to come into fruition (we can hear Kevin McLeod’s concerned voice in our heads here) and while it was finished in 1993, interior designer John Vugrin spent a few years perfecting the inside, which wasn’t ready for habitation until the new century.
Now it could be yours, for that $3 million you’ve kept hidden down the back of the couch. Check out the photos below.
