A stunning house in Yucca Valley by Oller & Pejic – human genius against the grandeur of nature, California, USA

The previous owners were cornered at the beginning of construction, taking more than a year to carefully design for emergency accessibility, parking and utilities. The architects wanted the house to replace the ruined hilltop and to be a shadow of it. The black house looks very effective in the middle of the Yucca Valley desert, where the sunlight is often painfully harsh.

The black walls and many stairs make it look like a bunker or a Martian module, which is accentuated by the surrounding landscape.

The open plan living room is the largest space inside the house, its dark furnishings balancing out the vertiginous angular exposure of the skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows open up the space to a courtyard, with panoramic views of the vast desert. Why did the designers choose the black color in the choice of furniture?? Simply because it is one of the neutral and sort of natural colors that can match any living room interior. In addition, it has many other advantages.

As for the kitchen – a modern design here would be too boring. The elegant interior design, with the advantage of black in almost all kitchen furniture, and the use of the latest equipment technology, makes it unique. Simple and practical, with a universal flat shape, a set of furniture, will not take up much space. The kitchen looks crisp and timeless, the counter with polished black granite countertops as a barrier in front of the dining area looks ultra-modern.

Black walls inside and out are designed to create a cave-like feel. The bedroom is luxurious and glamorous. The combination of black and white and the amazing view behind the glass door create a special atmosphere. The color of the furniture looks very winning with a few bright accents, and the view of the street successfully adds contrast and romance to the interior picture.

The black and white color scheme is quite popular these days. It can also be used in the bathroom to make it look modern and stylish. It’s easy to do because most of the plumbing is white. These colors are so contrasting that they easily make a bold statement on their own.

Yucca Valley villa is 30 min from Palm Springs which has mild weather. The idea for the black home was created by design studio Mark Atlan and Oller& Architects Pejic had the main purpose of renting it out. This unique place is very effective for photo and video shooting. The house is also fully livable: it has three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and garage. The wild, desert landscape also provides privacy for filming in this neighborhood.
