Project Spotlight: Step Inside a Rammed Earth Desert Oasis

Follow along as we unveil Morning Dove, a sustainable oasis in the heart of the Mojave Desert. Explore the marvels of designer Tracey Stehle-Cavaniola’s rammed earth home in this behind-the-scenes look at one designer’s process.

Twentynine Palms, California, is the gateway to the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree National Park. It’s also home to one of the most spectacular and sustainability-minded homes we’ve ever seen — a property called Morning Dove.

It first caught our attention because its owners sourced several NativeStone bathtubs for the unique structure, and it has kept our attention because it’s a marvel of architecture and entirely aligned with our eco-friendly mission.

And once we heard the story of its two fated-to-meet owners, Tracey Stehle-Cavaniola and Beau Campbell, well, we were smitten. Native Trails feels so fortunate to be a small part of the story of this desert home. We hope you enjoy it, too.
