California, San Bernardino County, Joshua Tree, USA

The Saturn Haus, Northworks Collaboration (2017).
A Modern Minimalist Masterpiece in Joshua Tree.

Framed by the vast, untamed expanse of Joshua Tree, The Saturn Haus is a fully self-sustaining micro-grid compound that redefines the very notion of luxury off-grid living. Bold in vision and flawless in execution, this architectural triumph harmonizes art, nature, and modern design with effortless precision.

Envisioned by the acclaimed team at Northworks, the residence unfolds as a composition of sculptural volumes-distinct in form yet seamlessly connected by open-air corridors that capture sweeping desert vistas and trace the sun's arc from dawn to dusk. Each pavilion is conceived as a sanctuary: the primary living quarters with radiant heated floors, a recording studio, private guest suites, a serene wellness retreat, a rooftop viewing deck, and an independent casita-each environment thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity, contemplation, and renewal.
Forged from concrete, steel, and glass, the structure balances elemental strength with understated elegance. Sustainability lies at its core: an advanced photovoltaic solar array and wind turbine power daily life, while innovative thermal technology sustains the sleek lap pool, ensuring comfort with minimal impact.

As the desert transitions from day into twilight, cinematic shadows stretch across the home's minimalist lines, transforming the architecture into a living canvas. More than a residence, The Saturn Haus is a work of art-a statement of presence, peace, and possibility.

Minimal. Majestic. Monumental.
