High Desert House - Kendrick Kellogg, Architect

The High Desert House designed by Architect Ken Kellogg is another of those structures that I find so visually arresting that I can't take my eyes off it. I have to admit that I'm less of a fan of the interior pictures that I've seen, it's the exterior shapes that my eyes caress lovingly. It might be that the interior just doesn't photograph well, as can be the case in organic structures.

The house is constructed of 26 concrete "wings" designed to capture energy from thermal mass. The wings are separated by glass that provides natural daylighting for the interior.

I simply love the shower rock work and cast fixtures of what I assume is the master bath. The house is near Palm Springs, so I have hope of one day getting to see it in person!
