A private home on the border of California's Joshua Tree National Park blends in with its surroundings thanks to its mirrored glass exterior.
Owned and designed by American Psycho film producer Chris Hanley, it resembles a skyscraper turned on its side.
Hanley and his wife, Roberta, rent out the home for events, film shoots, and retreats, with rates starting at $5,000 per day for small-group getaways.
