Jim Jennings Finds Home In The Southern Californian Desert

The white structure sits starkly against the landscape: its bright edges stand in dramatic contrast to the hot, dry land occupied solely by chaparral and fan palms. This home, though different in form to the organic matter of its surrounds, draws upon the glare of the sun — its white walls reflective of a landscape filled with extraordinary light. Enclosed by an eight-foot-high concrete wall, the home offers a private experience of the desert — its two external courtyards behave as living spaces; making the total floor space of the home 2,900-square-feet.
