Graceful All-Black Abodes

This Unique Home Design is Stunning, Serene and Sophisticated

— April 29, 2014 — Art & Design
Imagine waking up every morning to in such a unique home design -- and with such a view -- which is probably not only the envy of your non-existent neighbors, but the architectural field as a whole.

As a city girl, I would never voluntarily pick up my life and choose to be somewhere so isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city. But if my home looked like this desert gem, I would move in a heartbeat.

Designed by L.A.-based architecture firm Oller & Pejic Architecture and Marc Atlan, this stunning unique home design is the first all-black house I've seen. Located in the wilderness of the Yucca Valley, California, this somber and geometrically shaped abode is graceful and elegant.

With the design featuring glass instead of walls, this luxurious retreat is comfortably warm and serenely calming.

"The exceptional quality of silence is unparalleled and the beauty of the dark night sky borders on spiritual. Five minutes from civilization, the site nevertheless gives the sensation of being beyond time,” says the design team.
Trend Themes
1. All-black Architecture - The use of all-black building materials and design elements creates a unique and sophisticated aesthetic that stands out and could disrupt the traditional construction industry.
2. Glass as a Building Material - The use of glass in place of traditional walls not only creates a visually stunning effect but also provides a comfortable, warm atmosphere, offering opportunities for innovative building design and sustainable constructions.
3. Isolated Residential Design - Designing homes in isolated areas can offer a calm and serene experience that can appeal to certain demographics and create innovative living spaces that serve as an oasis of modern architecture, in a sea of nature.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - By using all-black designs and new, innovative materials, construction companies have an opportunity to differentiate themselves from traditional builders by offering modern and unique aesthetics that cater to the customers of these designs.
2. Architecture - Innovative architecture is the backbone of creating unique living experiences which can tap into previously unthought markets, like people interested in living in isolated areas, while sustaining an aesthetically-pleasing and efficient design structure.
3. Interior Design - With the use of glass as the main walls, interior designers can experiment with different lighting patterns and textures, producing an effect that is more than soothing but visually interesting and sophisticated.
