This Minimalist Home Keeps Things Simple
This minimalist home keeps things simple: ten bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, two kitchens, and only one indoor movie theater.
The architect who designed this space kept only the bare necessities: a six-car garage, a two-story guest house, and a “smart” floor that can sense when you’re hungry and alert the staff in one of your kitchens.
This house is for only the most austere homesteader, with just four pantries, three driveways, and only one fully-functioning helipad.
This humble abode sports just a handful of roofs, barely ten skylights, and only twenty-three feet of hallway between each room.
This modest dwelling gets plenty of light in the other similar-sized house it’s attached to via a mostly unadorned raised glass walkway.
The future owner of this restrained residence will enjoy the simplicity of one single square mile of floorspace.
This basic shelter costs a very straightforward fifty million dollars.
Yes indeed, this minimalist home keeps things simple.

That’s all for this week—thanks for reading! Goodbye.
