ARCHITECTURE

For a holiday in Joshua Tree, all you really need is unbridled comfort, a scenic landscape to marvel at and first-rate amenities that aid relaxation – and that’s exactly what you get in this home.

Morris’s vision for Le Chacuel was a space influenced only by the desert and old-world desert living. Everything has been intentionally set in the home to sit lower, closer to the earth. Morris designed the pool to be partially subgrade and partially above grade and use the elevated walls of the pool to prevent the elements of nature from getting into the pool. Almost everything has been hand-made custom for this space and much of the furniture you’ll experience throughout the property was Cast & Crew designed and built. The design of the house is accordingly minimal, relying on the beauty of its surroundings. The colors of the house are muted to match the shades of sand and the dirt road that stretches outside. The living room’s large sliding glass doors make guests feel immersed in nature.
