This exceptional Modernist pavilion in the Southern California desert is partly open to the elements, giving visitors a raw experience of both architecture and landscape.
There is a large sheltered bedroom with apertures at both ends of the roof that bring in desert breezes. Adjoining the bedroom is a shower room (with a built-in bench) that is open to the skies. A glass-roofed kitchen provides space for cooking. The living room can be found sunken into the desert floor and surrounded by block-screen walls and iron screens that slide open to reveal the desert. There is also a heated spa, barbecue, fire pit and stereo on the site.
This pavilion takes the Modernist ideal of the integration of architecture and landscape to its logical extreme. Providing shelter yet also maintaining connection with the natural world, the pavilion escapes definition, existing somewhere between architecture, sculpture, land art, shelter, and even yurt.
It can be found tucked behind a rock outcrop on the edge of open and natural desert in Southern California, just five minutes from the National Park and downtown Joshua Tree.

As such we urge all users of this site to consider carefully any transaction or agreement entered into. The Modern House Ltd does not own or manage any holiday rental listed on the site, neither do we act as agent for any owners of the holiday rental property. Instead, the site acts as a venue to allow home owners / property managers to expose their properties. We are not in any way involved with any transaction between potential renters and property owners / managers, excepting the forwarding of enquiries. As a result any aspect of an actual or potential transaction between a renter and an owner / manager, including the quality, safety, legality or the properties listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings are solely the responsibility of the site user. We are also not responsible for the condition of the holiday rental properties listed on our site or the compliance with laws, rules and regulations that may be applicable to any holiday rental property in any jurisdiction. Whilst we welcome feedback from renters in relation to their stays at properties listed on our site, or feedback in relation to any communications potential renters have had with property owners / managers, we are not able to mediate in any disputes between renters / potential renters and property owners / managers (although we will, in all likelihood, remove a property from our site following consistent negative feedback that we consider to be justified).
