There’s
a history of Mojave being a place for people who are loners and pioneers. The sweeping
views of the magnificent eerie landscape gives credence to that thought. You
feel like you are a character in 2001:
A Space Odyssey. When you
are eating all you can hear is the sound of your silverware, the sound of your
chair moving, and the sound of the house expanding and contracting. I like it.
The
house is pre-fabricated based on an off-the-grid design. It sits lightly
on the earth with minimal foundations, an energy-efficient yet ultra-stylish
house rising up from a wild and rugged landscape. It has no conventional
heating or air-conditioning system, but remains cozy in winter and cool in
summer with its passive heating and cooling, strategic orientation, and cross
ventilation.
