Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best retirement housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
The concealed home in Joshua Tree, California blends so well into its rocky environs that a potential renter may have to squint to see it.
“Imagine a piece of modern art … one of the most spectacular homes in the world on all of Airbnb,” said Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb.
At $3500 per night, the experience it offers almost justifies the price.
Known as the “invisible house,” the mirrored residence was designed by film producer Chris Hanley and Frank Gehry collaborator Tomas Osinski.
Their vision was to build a mansion that directly connects inhabitants with the environment.
The home features a mirrored-glass exterior that seamlessly bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor space.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
