Living in The Desert

I'm not sure if it would ever cross my mind to live in the middle of the desert, but Italian journalist Fabrizio Rondolino and his family certainly contemplated the idea. After a long love affair with Death Valley, the family decided to build this beautiful house in the middle of the scorching nowhere — 150 miles north of Las Vegas. The Rondolinos hired a young German architect to work with them in the project, and surprisingly they planned, constructed and furnished the 1200 square-foot house via e-mail without ever meeting or speaking over the phone. Can you imagine? Well, I have to say that after seeing the end result, the beauty of the natural setting and the spectacular views, living in the desert may have its charm.
