Kendrick Bangs Kellog High Desert House and Hästens

     Artists Jay and Bev Dolittle are said 

   to have sent a note to architect Kendricks Bangs Kellog to say that they had bought an unusual building site in the Mojave Desert, California in the Joshua Tree National Park. 

The result is the the 

High Desert House also 

called the Dolittle House. 

The Stone Henge of a home is built 

on 26 concrete columns designed 

by the innovator of organic architecture

 Kendricks Bangs Kellog.

 The interior designer John Vugrin has 

been working with the house interior since 

the first note in 1986 and continued 

to  complete the interior of this 

remarkable bespoke unique desert home. 

John Vugrin and Swedish

 Hästens has together with the 

 Dolittles created a 

bespoke round bed that 

really seems to be a 

better fit than a square 

one in this organic home. 

The brief Dolittle has given

 the Hästens bed is going to be used more

 as a sofa and would have looked better in this photo 

if it was styled to fit in instead 

of the blue and white Hästens fabric.  

"The idea was the house would be settled in the landscape. 

Like it was crouching 

on the rocks, 

maybe like an 

animal at sleep"
