# folly mojave
an off-grid suite in the high desert

location
folly mojave is in wonder valley, california, on a 200+ acre property between the mojave national preserve and joshua tree national park. exact directions are shared after booking.
shelter from the elements, open to the landscape
warm poured-in-place platforms radiate heat into the evening, while board-form concrete walls hold the day's light. natural fittings in steel and charred wood keep the interiors refined and understated — a comfortable shelter that never separates you from the desert around it.
clean lines and a seamless move between indoors and out. one king bed downstairs, one open-air king bed upstairs, under a sky with almost nothing between you and it.
the brutal scenery here is an illusion — hundreds of square miles that read as empty, framing a landscape that is vibrantly alive. hues of umber, gold and fawn hold the vistas of both the park and the preserve, and the light moves across them all day.
