This Amazing Piece Of Architecture Is Hidden In California's Mohave Desert...

This amazing house was designed by Kendrick Bangs Kellogg in 1988.
It's called The Desert House and is described as the most important architectural house you may have never seen. It is so the description goes, physically part of the desert, at one with its surroundings. The strength of the land and rugged protective shell exterior is drawn from the desert. The textures provide the touch and feel of the desert as the building materials were selected from the same place.
The property, on the market for only three million dollars as the owners have decided to downsize, highlights the masculine and feminine forms that are the hallmark of organic architecture.
Here's a link to some more images including some of the interior which was designed by John Vigrin and that sadly I considered to be so ugly
I couldn't bring myself to post them...
