In Joshua Tree, California, one man had a shack on his property that was as old and rickety as it was ugly and useless. Instead of tearing the structure down, however, he decided to turn it into something absolutely beautiful and awe-inspiring.
When Phillip K. Smith III first began work on the shack, it was a sight for sore eyes. It was 70-years-old and weather-worn. Smith began by attaching mirrored panels to the outer walls. At first glance, you might not even realize that the shack is in front of your eyes. At night, the shack glows a variety of colors to create a mesmerizing effect.
Smith named the property “Lucid Stead.” He considers it as much of an art installation piece as a property. During both day light and night hours, Lucid Stead is a captivating and stunning piece of artwork.
Smith’s renovation of this old shack into this beautiful work of art goes to show that there is potential in even the most dilapidated of old properties. Lucid Stead serves as perfect inspiration for anyone who has been considering renovating an old and worn structure of their own. Beneath the surface, there might just be the potential for something truly beautiful.
