SAGE MOON

Sage Moon is a thoughtfully executed architectural remodel that transforms a neglected desert structure into a refined, Scandinavian-inspired retreat rooted in simplicity and intention. The design carefully balances restoration and innovation—preserving the home's original footprint while introducing contemporary forms, clean lines, and a muted material palette that responds to the quiet tones of the Pioneertown landscape. Clad in soft sage green to echo the surrounding Joshua trees, the exterior blends gently into its environment, while the interior uses warm woods, minimal detailing, and expansive glazing to create a light-filled, harmonious atmosphere. The reconfigured layout prioritizes spatial clarity and flow, with two bedrooms, spa-like bathrooms, and an open kitchen-living space designed to foster stillness and connection. Sage Moon is a case study in adaptive reuse—where architectural restraint and contextual sensitivity come together to support a slower, more intentional way of living in the desert.
