Splendid Mansion Thousand Waves on the Pacific Ocean Shore

There are many luxury houses but not many of them have wonderful ocean views for their back yard. This miracle of the designer's thought is situated near the Pacific Ocean, in Maui. Leaving it you find yourself on the beach where you can enjoy breathtaking ocean views.

But it is the heaven not only for the senses and soul but also for the body. The living area takes about 11 000 square feet and the residence includes two master suites, six guest rooms, a media room, library, home office and separate caretaker’s quarters. There are also several wonderful additions such as an oceanfront pool, a Jacuzzi, a yoga pavilion and an exercise room.

As it has been mentioned this house is brilliant in its size and location, and it should be said that it also has nice design solutions. There you can see the landscape architecture elements which feast the eyes of inhabitants and guests. This is not simply a house, this is a dream!

Connection with nature and surrounding landscape is emphasized in various details of interior and exterior. The Fish House is full of open spaces which encourage natural ventilation. Curved roof symbolizes the sea waves and offers green zone for outdoor leisure. Media-room with a u-shaped acrylic window allows diffusing natural light in and also reinforces idea of connection.

Luxury Mansion in the Cayman Islands

This amazing 45,000 square foot house is located in the Cayman Islands. This grand and elaborate mansion belongs to a 35 year old Jerry Beck who is software billionaire. The price of this project is $ 60 million. The house impresses with its luxury and is one of the most magnificent houses I have ever seen. The residence feature wine room, home theater, lavish billiards room with custom made bar, gym, steam room, spa, staff quarters, tennis court, helipad, spectacular views of the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea and much more. We especially love the back of the house with the panoramic windows, huge swimming pool with grotto (like in the Playboy Mansion) and caves.
