Whether you're an outdoorsy type that likes nothing better than setting off on a hiking trail or somebody who just wants a few days away from the noise and non-stop pace of city life, this cute home sat just a mile away from Joshua Tree National Park is a dream. Surrounded by Californian desert, there's seating on the terrace or hammocks from which to enjoy the silence, as well as a fire pit for when the sun goes down and it's just you and the stars up above to keep you company.

Smoking Pixels

Rancho Mirage, Riverside County

This showstopper is here to attract the architectural fans — so don't tell us you haven't noticed the deconstructed minimalism and the statement furniture to go with it. Smoking Pixels is a treat for the eyes, filling every corner of the home, as well as its considerable exterior with something beautiful.
