Doolittle Home that Looks Like a Bond Villain’s Lair On Sale in Joshua Tree

California’s Mojave Desert hides an undiscovered architectural gem-a luxurious stone house that looks like it was made for a fashionable <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/james-bond/" target="_blank">Bond villain</a>. Organic architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg (79) designed <a href="http://organicmodernestate.com/" target="_blank">the house</a> in Joshua Tree for a couple, artist Bev Doolittle and her husband Jay Doolittle, who are now selling it for $3 million.

The house was completed in 1993.

Its interior designer, John Vugrin, spent another few years with the finishing touches.

It is an otherworldly space made of concrete, steel and glass, nestled up into the rocky hillside in the Mojave Desert.

The works began in 1988, two years after the couple met the architect for the first time.

Its heavy walls and rib-like structure make it look like a robust shelter during desert storms.

It is a 4,643-square-foot space with 26 columns that fan out of its rooflines like wings.

Its sturdiness was successfully tested back in 1992, during the Landers earthquake.

During the construction, the Doolittles lived in a nearby home and finally took up residence in the early 2000s.

Today, the couple is looking to downsize and live a simpler life, and have decided to sell the property.
