Surely the Desert House Was Built by Aliens

Crouched like an alien artefact in the desert at Joshua Tree is this amazing structure.

Miles from anything, it seems the concrete is made by just grinding up the rocks.

Usually this sort of arty idea is not well executed…

…but this is so confidently detailed, it is as if an alien race had been building this way for centuries.

And they were familiar with grinding rocky planets into homes away from home.

The curves of the roof flawlessly transition into a new set of curves in the pillars holding it.

Nothing but the vast desert beyond gives you plenty of warning should curious earthlings venture too near.

Here, your fellow travellers will revel in the curious air of Earth.

Imagine sleeping here, while keeping one watchful eye out for your returning spaceships.

The living room is well designed to accommodate your species visiting here from another planet.

Some of the interiors do get a little hokey…

But the aesthetic is amazingly consistent throughout.

In the Desert House, America has a national heritage building at Joshua Tree National Park.

Unsurprising that this took a decade to handcraft.

The (earthling) architect  Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, born in 1934, has created a true work of art.
