Summary
Welcome to Morning Dove, an architectural masterpiece set on 20 pristine acres at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. Designed with sustainability and elegance in mind, this unique rammed earth home blends luxury with the raw beauty of the desert. Experience a seamless connection to nature while enjoying high-end amenities and curated interiors.
Space
Morning Dove offers a one-of-a-kind desert retreat with refined design and unmatched comfort. Whether stargazing from one of the private patios, unwinding in a NativeStone bathtub, or gathering around the wood-burning fireplace, every moment is elevated.
INSPIRATION & RAMMED EARTH
During a soul-searching road trip to the Joshua Tree area, the owners stayed a few nights at the 29 Palms Inn and decided to build something extraordinary in the area. It was important to them to be connected to the outside at all times in the house, while also being protected from the extreme elements and to build a healthy environment that fosters a connection to the Mojave.
Rammed earth is an ancient construction method seen in Europe, New Zealand, Africa and drier climates and uses a combination of native materials, a binding agent and colorant to mix into the material by batch. For Morning Dove, the owners took the soil from this property, which is mostly granite, screened it to get the consistency they wanted and mixed it with specific colored mortars. The mixture is poured into forms and compacted by a tamper. Once the first layer was completed, the forms were moved, and the process was repeated. This type of sustainable design does not exist anywhere in the California high-desert.
