Mirror-clad Invisible House reflects its desert surrounds



The Los Angeles film producer behind American Psycho has created a cantilevered mirrored house near Joshua Tree National Park, designed to look like a New York skyscraper on its side.

Producer Chris Hanley completed Invisible House on a remote site 10 minutes from Downtown Joshua Tree, California, that he chose with the advice of British architect David Adjaye. The property is available to rent for filming, photography and events.

Hanley then worked with architect Tomas Osiniki to develop a long and slender steel-frame house clad in mirrored, tempered glass typically used for skyscrapers. It is elevated above the ground on cylindrical concrete columns, forming a cantilever at one end.

Inside, the mirrored glass walls offer expansive views of the private 90-acre surrounds, while the metal structure is left exposed in the ceiling.

The 5,000-square-foot (465-square-metre) house is designed as one long, continuous entertaining space around a 100-foot-long (30-metre-long) indoor swimming pool.
