Welcome to the desert. Welcome home. This visually stunning tour of the world’s most amazing desert homes will inspire you to create an oasis with “desert vibes” wherever you are. Creatives are drawn in by the extreme landscapes and limited resources of the desert; in fact, they’re inspired by them, and the homes they’ve built here prove the power of an oasis. From renovated Airstreams to sprawling, modern stucco, desert has become the new beachfront. In Oasis , artist iO Tillett Wright captures the best of this specific culture that emphasizes living simply, beautifully, and in connection with the earth. He highlights the homes that define this desert mindset, featuring the classics like Georgia O’Keefe’s in Abiquiu, New Mexico, alongside more modern homes such as Michael Barnard’s Solar House in Marfa, Texas. With Casey Dunn’s stunning photography, Oasis will transport you to these relaxing refuges, where you’ll learn what elements create the balance of intentionality, ease, style, and function that these homes exude.

Gorgeous and unique
A gorgeous book of unique architecture, in places you would not expect, wonderfully researched and described. A pleasure to look at and read even if it’s not your typical interest. It is absolutely amazing to learn what is possible in architecture when dreams and ideas come together.

Beautiful photos of desert homes
I love the desert and this book reveals amazing homes and locations around the world! The problem is that it ends!! There are so many other desert homes and locations I wish were shared with us. Please create part 2 for your readers:)

A must-have work for architecture enthusiasts from iO Tillett Wright
First off, the print quality and the number of illustrations is phenomenal, especially for the price point! Oasis is a well-crafted curation of sensible, beautiful, and inspiring homes in the setting of the desert. In here you’ll find homes that meet a blend of cozy mediterranean and minimalism, which integrate beautifully with the natural landscape they are situated in. One thing that really surprised me about this book is that it includes a tremendous account of the quite little-known, sustainablility-focused community, Arcosanti. I only became aware of it because it’s located near where I grew up. This book will be a gift to my good friend studying to be an architect, but if it was mine it would be on my coffee table just because of how visually pleasing it is.

Wow! This was way better than expected!
If you're more into interiors than architecture this is for you. Although the book does touch on architectural points - the photos and text are mainly about the interiors. There's tons of inspiration to be had in this book, and the author writes in an informed yet still conversational tone. As a desert child myself, I've always drawn back to this landscape and this book really has some gems. 100% would recommend.
