A micro-home prototype for the high desert—designed to make Living Building Challenge principles attainable, scalable, and desirable for a new generation of off-grid living, hospitality, and creative retreat experiences.
Conceived for the rugged beauty of California’s Mojave High Desert near Joshua Tree, this adaptable collection of net-zero-ready modular homes reimagines the future of small-scale living and hospitality. Designed as customizable retreats, STR investments, artist compounds, and off-grid wellness escapes, the prototype demonstrates how regenerative design can deliver long-term value, operational resilience, and unforgettable guest experiences—without sacrificing beauty, flexibility, or attainability.
