Inside a Futuristic Home with Detachable Rooms
Today Architectural Digest tours a futuristic home nestled among the trees in Malibu, California. If you were to imagine life on Mars your mind might conjure an image similar to this extraordinary residence. Built by architect Ed Niles in 1992, his experimental builds have been redefining the architecture of Southern California for decades. The innovative design features a long structure with modular rooms that can be unhooked and rearranged along the house's spine. Join Ed as he talks you through the creative process behind this architectural marvel.

Today Architectural Digest travels to the Catskills Mountains in upstate New York to tour the Rock’n’House, a remarkable family home built around a 12,000 year-old-boulder. Some might have found themselves between a rock and a hard place after finding a prehistoric glacial erratic in the middle of their land, but for architect Christian Wassmann, it was just what he was looking for. The boulder became the central feature of Wassmann’s design and is always present in his family’s impressive home–the perfect example of how humans and nature can coexist as one.Inside A Mansion Built On The Edge Of An Abandoned Quarry
Today Architectural Digest brings you an hour outside of New York City to tour Bedford Quarry House. Sitting atop the cliff's edge of an abandoned quarry, this serene property boasts spectacular views of the lake and surrounding forest. The boundary dividing these vistas from the interior is figuratively broken by floor-to-ceiling windows throughout–creating a sense of openness and fluidity between nature and the home. Join architect Steven Harris for an in-depth look at his design philosophy behind this unique family residence.Inside a Breathtaking Desert Mansion That Looks Like A Fossil
Today on Architectural Digest we visit Joshua Tree in California to tour the awe-inspiring Kellogg Doolittle Residence. The sensational build was designed by organic architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg and his protegee John Vugrin in the 1980s taking over 20 years to complete. Upon first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking this property was a living creature; the magnificent structure appears skeletal with 26 cast-concrete pieces fanning out in resemblance of vertebrae. An art piece in and of itself, it is no wonder this unique space is considered one of Kellogg’s greatest masterpieces.Inside A Nordic Sauna Designed To Blend In With Nature

Today AD brings you to Lake Oswego in Oregon to visit a one-of-a-kind home designed and lived in by architect Robert Oshatz. Sitting majestically upon land that was once classified as unbuildable, The Elk Rock Residence was designed in the late 1980's - and has been Oshatz's home ever since. With dramatic lines soaring outward from a tree-filled cliffside and stunning unobstructed views on each floor, come inside for an in-depth look at the process and philosophy behind this truly unique space.Inside An Experimental Off-Grid Modern Cabin
Today Architectural Digest brings you two hours north of New York City to Rhinebeck, NY for an in-depth look at a home that feels like an inhabitable work of art. Architects Steven Holl and Dimitra Tsachrelia explain the design philosophy and inspiration behind their secluded, off-grid "architectural wonder in the woods," breaking down the intent behind each design choice and how they work together to create a uniquely meditative but stimulating space.Inside a Precisely Designed Lunar Lander Replica House
Today AD brings you to Beverly, Washington along the banks of the Columbia River to visit a tiny home straight out of the early Space Age. When professional catamaran designer Kurt Hughes decided to build his Lunar Lander Dwelling House, he set out to improve upon the excessive weight and structural weaknesses found in some tiny homes. Using lessons learned from his decades building ships, Kurt has maximized every inch in his meticulously designed replica of the Apollo Lunar Lander.
