Monument House, California, USA
A bright and surprising find on the outskirts of Joshua Tree National Park, Monument House sits in a valley of boulders, with nothing but sand and rock formations in sight.
With its bold, multi-coloured façade and cube-like design, there's no denying that this property is one of a kind.

Designed as a reinvention of the modern desert dwelling, the property is split into three distinctive cubes – one pink, one blue and one green. The colours were reportedly chosen to reflect the shades of cacti, desert rocks and the sky.
Each cube boasts sharp, angular windows and doors, which only add to its unusual aesthetic.
Inside, the distinctive design details continue, with the use of bold colours, sloping walls, geometric openings and mismatched furnishings. There’s a single bedroom, one bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with a double-height ceiling and a dining room.
The pink unit is actually a sheltered gazebo, kitted out with a dining table, for semi-alfresco meals. The property is enclosed by more than five acres of land and comes with a hot tub nestled in the boulders, a fire pit and loungers, for soaking up the desert scenery.
