Joshua Tree Residence

After going viral back in 2017, the Starburst House is now available for purchase. The unique residence in Joshua Tree was visualised by London-based Whitaker Studio, and is made with a cluster of shipping containers. Set in an area of ​​36 hectares, on top of the vast mountain landscape of California, this impressive 200sqm residence conglomerates several containers, forming an absolutely unbelievable star-shaped exoskeleton. The set of containers assumes the purpose of residence and each unit is positioned in order to face the landscape and, of course, in order to offer maximum privacy to its visitors. It has three bathrooms, a kitchen and a spacious living room. In addition, the project also has a garage with solar panels that provide energy for the entire house.
