Disappear in the desert with a stay in this “invisible” Airbnb in the middle of Joshua Tree

Do you like the Joshua tree? You can now become one with the famous desert landscape (without having to camp), thanks to this “invisible” Airbnb which blends in perfectly with the magnificent surroundings of the national park.

The “Invisible House”, an ultramodern accommodation with a fully mirrored exterior, is the original idea by filmmaker Chris Hanley (best known as the producer behind American psychopath and The suicide virgins) and Tomas Osinski, a collaborator of Frank Gehry. The the design is inspired by the monolithic skyscrapers of New York City, with a touch of Andy Warhol, the man who initially inspired Hanley and his wife to buy land and see it as uninterrupted art.

Inside you will find a 100ft LED-rimmed pool, tons of floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and even all-glass shower stalls (if you don’t want to be out of sight for even a moment). And if you are worried about exposure, be aware that this house is located on 90 acres of private land (including its own 4000 foot mountain) so you don’t have to worry about curious hikers while you bathe in the wilderness. Of course, the house is also designed for stargazing with a glass roof and a cozy fireplace.
