The former owner of this striking black villa, designer Marc Atlan, wanted a house that looked “like a shadow.” Here, in the arid desert landscape near the Joshua Tree National Park in California, the sun is often so bright that the shade is a welcome reprieve for the eyes.

Husband and wife architects Monica Oller and Tom Pejic created floor-to-ceiling windows that make the inside very light and offer panoramic views of the large brown boulders and the barren mountains in the distance. At night, the house completely dissolves into the dark, making the stars appear more even prominent.
