Ku-Yoni no-Lindsey Goldberg, konke kwaqala ngeflaya ephinki emgwaqeni owubhuqu ongahleliwe e-Joshua Tree efundeka kalula nje, “Umhlaba uyathengiswa.”
U-Yoni no-Lindsey bazibona bengabantu abavamile be-LA edolobheni ngaleso sikhathi futhi babengenanhloso yokuthenga ikhaya leholide, kodwa iflaya lalibukeka njengesimemo-okungenani-sokucabanga indlela ehlukile yokuphila.
Ngokusho kombhangqwana, lo mbhangqwana uvakashele uJoshua Tree ngolunye lwezinsuku zabo zokuqala, futhi phakathi nohambo lwabo lwesikhumbuzo ngonyaka olandelayo, konke kwabonakala kuhlelwe kusengaphambili kunokuba kwenzeke ngengozi.
Le nombolo yabaholela kumdayisi wezindlu, owabe esebahambisa emigwaqweni eminingi ewubhuqu, bagcina befikile endaweni manje abayibiza ngokuthi indawo yokuhlala kaGraham.
Bebona isakhiwo sensimbi esilula okokuqala, u-Yoni noLindsey babefana nezivakashi zabo zamanje, bezibuza ukuthi ikuphi ngempela indlu.
Ukuhlukaniswa kwendlu kaGraham kuhehe kakhulu abanikazi bezindlu u-Yoni noLindsey Goldberg.“Umuzi kaGraham usekupheleni komgwaqo,” kusho uLindsey, “ngakho njalo ekuseni siyavuka, siphuze ikhofi, bese sehla ngalo mgwaqo osanda… ophelile.Kude sizungezwe ngokuphelele.phakathi kwamatshe nezinqwaba zamatshe, kwakubukeka njengeJoshua Tree National Park.
"Le ndlela ekhohlisayo ingahle ibonakale ihlanya, kepha sithe singena kulesi sikhala, sabona ukuthi bekuyilokho," kusho uLindsay."Futhi kufanele sithole ukuthi singayithenga kanjani indlu."
Indlu kaGraham iphuma emadwaleni – icishe intante emanzini.Indawo yokuhlala ye-hybrid prefab ime kumakholomu aqondile aboshwe kusisekelo sikakhonkolo esivalekile, okwenza ikhaya libonakale lintanta ngaphezu kokwakheka kwezwe.
Ihlala kumahektha ayi-10 kumamitha angu-4000 e-Rock Reach enhliziyweni ye-Yucca Valley, ezungezwe amajikijolo omjunipha, indawo ewugwadule kanye nezihlahla zikaphayini.Izungezwe izwe lomphakathi futhi okuwukuphela kwayo omakhelwane bayo ama-bluebird, ama-hummingbird, nama-coyote ahlala ngezikhathi ezithile.
“Ngiyabuthanda ubuhle bedizayini yokusunduza nokudonsa kanye nokunethezeka kwe-adventure, kuzwakala sengathi usuphumile endaweni yakho yokunethezeka,” kusho u-Yoni.
I-Graham Residence engu-1,200-square-foot-foot inamagumbi okulala amabili, igumbi lokugezela elihlanganyelwayo, kanye nendawo yokuhlala evulekile, yokudlela, kanye nekhishi.Ingaphambili lekhaya livula kuze kufike kuvulandi we-cantilevered wamamitha-skwele angu-300, kuyilapho kunendawo eyengeziwe engamamitha-skwele angu-144 wesikhala sangaphandle ngemuva.
I-façade ye-rectilinear yendlu ivula kuvulandi we-cantilevered esingamamitha-skwele angu-300 onompheme owuvikela kancane elangeni lasogwadule.
Ngokugunyazwa uGordon Graham ngo-2011, lo mbhangqwana wanquma ukuqamba indlu ngomnikazi wangempela, ukuhlonipha umklamo wakhe wamaphakathi nekhulunyaka.(Ngokusobala uGraham akazange akhe indlu phakathi nekhulu leminyaka, kodwa wayefuna ukuba ibe khona njengengosi.)
Idizayinelwe i-Palm Springs-based o2 Architecture futhi yakhiwe yi-Blue Sky Building Systems, ifaka phakathi amaseyili angaphandle, ama-skylights, kanye ne-walnut cabinetry.UGraham ufake amakhanda amaningi ochungechungeni lweMad Men endlini yokuqala, okuhlanganisa nesithombe sombhede uDon Draper odluliselwe kusiqephu sePalm Springs.
“Amafasitela anefreyimu yensimbi aphakathi nekhulunyaka, futhi ngesikhathi uGordon Graham akha le ndawo, wayefuna ngempela kube sengathi ihlehla ngesikhathi uma ungena,” kusho umninikhaya uYoni.
“Isakhiwo sale ndawo sisitayela samaphakathi nekhulunyaka.Ngokubona kwami, ilungele indlu yasemaphandleni, ngoba awunayo indawo yokugcina izinto, kodwa awudingi indawo enkulu yokugcina futhi,” kusho uYoni.“Kodwa kungaba yikhaya elinzima ukuphila isikhathi esigcwele.”
U-Yoni no-Lindsey bashiye indlu njengoba yayinjalo (okuhlanganisa nenqwaba yezinto zokukhanyisa zakudala zaphakathi nekhulu), kodwa bengeza umgodi womlilo, izoso, nobhavu oshisayo endaweni eseduze ukuze bagcine abangani kanye nezihambeli ze-Airbnb zijabulile.
Ngesikhathi bebodwa, u-Yoni no-Lindsey bakhethe i-propane lapho bedinga uphethiloli womlilo wabo, isoso, neshawa yangaphandle.“Ngiqonde ukuthi akukho okudlula ukugeza ngaphandle,” kusho uYoni.“Kungani ungenisa omunye ngaphakathi kuyilapho ungamkhipha?”
“Sithole ukuthi izihambeli eziningi ezihlala lapha nazo azifuni ukuhamba uma sezifikile.Ababoni ukuthi baneziqiwi zabo ezizimele lapha,” kusho uYoni.“Kunabantu abahamba indlela yonke beya e-Joshua Tree behlose ukuya epaki, kodwa bangalokothi baye ngoba becabanga ukuthi konke abakudingayo kukhona.”
Indlu isebenzisa amandla elanga isikhathi esiningi sosuku kodwa ihlala ixhumeke kugridi ngemva kwamahora.Bathembele ku-propane ngemililo yabo, ama-grill, namanzi ashisayo (kuhlanganise nezihlambi zangaphandle).
U-Yoni noLindsey bathi indawo yokucima umlilo ingenye yezinto abazikhonzile endlini ngoba ibenza bakwazi ukucwila emoyeni wokukhempa.“Yize sinale ndlu enhle esingahlala kuyo, singakwazi ukucwilisa izinyawo odakeni, sihlale ngaphandle, sose ama-marshmallows futhi sihlanganyele nezingane,” kusho uLindsey.
“Yingakho ungayiqasha, ungafika uzohlala lapha, abantu bazoza kithina ngoba kufana nento ekhetheke ngempela ongeke uyigcine kuwena,” kusho uLindsey.
“Sibe nesivakashi esineminyaka engu-93 esasifuna ukubona ugwadule okokugcina.Sibe namaphathi ezinsuku zokuzalwa, sibe nezinsuku ezimbalwa zokukhumbula iminyaka futhi kwathinta inhliziyo ukufunda incwadi yezivakashi nokubona abantu begubha lapha,” kwengeza uYoni.
Kusukela kumakhabethe athokomele kuya ezindlini ezinkulu zemindeni, thola ukuthi izindlu ezakhiwe ngaphambilini ziqhubeka kanjani nokulolonga ikusasa lezakhiwo, ukwakhiwa nokuklama.
