Yucca Valley, California
Pedigree: Fast-rising Los Angeles architecture studio Oller & Pejic collaborated with Marc Atlan, a creative director, to devise this enigmatic 2012 house, wrapped around a central courtyard and set in a remote stretch of the Mojave Desert overlooking Joshua Tree National Park. The home’s black-stucco facades are meant to evoke shadows on the landscape, while its form takes inspiration from the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Rudolph Schindler.
