At first glance, this residence in Joshua Tree, California, looks as if it took architectural inspiration from Star Wars' Tatooine planet.
The concept of this Organic Modern Estate, which seems one with the desert, was initially carried out by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg. Work on this architecture piece started in 1988, and even though it was completed in 1993, interior designer John Vugrin spent several years "tweaking" it.
