Mirage house in Palm Springs
While in Palm Springs, below a 114ºF weather, we went to see Doug Aitken's mirage house which was insanely cool as you can see from these pictures I've taken. To get at this house in the middle of the desert, you actually need its coordinates, it does not have a proper address that you can just drop in your app and drive there. Here it is: 33°50'59.6"N. 116°33'57.5"W.
It is a real-size replica of an American house, the sculpture is entirely composed of reflective mirrored surfaces, outside and inside. We got lucky because when we arrived at the guard-house the sign was saying "closed" and we thought we couldn't go until the top of the hill to see the house. Fortunately, we got our way in and we were the only ones there! That's why these pictures turned out so good, no other visitors were there. We got some kinda of VIP access haha.
If you are passing by Hwy 111 or traveling to Palm Springs, I definitely recommend go see this mirage! 🏜🌵
