Casa Dell
Published by Peter Parker under on 14:32
This house belongs to Michael Dell, founder of Dell Computers. If it feels obscene to mention a house created with pure wealth - Dell's personal fortune was last reported at $20 billion - then it is also worth considering that this house represents one person's ambitious and utterly unique vision for how a home can operate. The footprint is colossal: thirty three thousand square feet, though this is by no means the biggest private home around - apparently it ranks 15th in the world. But the really jawdropping feature is surely the tent, which somehow defines the corporate, office-like outlook of the whole design - it looks like a permanent conference centre. If it were just you and your partner having a drink, it might feel a bit lonely under there.
