Description
Summary
Morning Dove by Homestead Modern is an architectural masterpiece set on 20 pristine acres at the literal edge of Joshua Tree National Park. This one-of-a-kind rammed earth estate dissolves the boundaries between luxury and the raw Mojave, offering a sophisticated sanctuary for those seeking deep connection, high-end design, and unmatched desert silence.
Space
Constructed from the very granite soil upon which it sits, this 7,000 sq. ft. estate is a marvel of sustainable design and organic elegance. The property balances the thermal permanence of rammed earth walls with expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, creating a living experience that feels both ancient and futuristic - a true desert fortress of comfort and light.
INSPIRATION & RAMMED EARTH
During a soul-searching road trip to the Joshua Tree area, the owners stayed a few nights at the 29 Palms Inn and decided to build something extraordinary in the area. It was important to them to be connected to the outside at all times in the house, while also being protected from the extreme elements and to build a healthy environment that fosters a connection to the Mojave.
Rammed earth is an ancient construction method seen in Europe, New Zealand, Africa and drier climates and uses a combination of native materials, a binding agent and colorant to mix into the material by batch. For Morning Dove, the owners took the soil from this property, which is mostly granite, screened it to get the consistency they wanted and mixed it with specific colored mortars. The mixture is poured into forms and compacted by a tamper. Once the first layer was completed, the forms were moved, and the process was repeated. This type of sustainable design does not exist anywhere in the California high-desert.
