House for the Star


The Architectural design composed on this mansion is designed for one of our famous female artist of all time which she has her own special place in the wall of fame.
Madonna, only very few will of never heard of her or if any, when one hears her name no matter how old or how young the individual may be, one will know that she has achieved so much and has no limit or boundaries as seen so far, and no matter what job she has taken on her self big or small she has been very successful.
No one ever imagined that one of our famous female artists of all time will be a Mother but a very talented and loving mother and wife of the same magnitude of fame, Gay Richey.  This family has represented the world as "the Great American Dream". We believe that the architectural design conducted for this project for our famous "Dream Family" has all the elements and feel incorporated in Madonna's mansion.
Unlike Most other famous superstar mansions that is extremely huge in size with acres of land and space, this mansion was design in a way which comfort and relaxed atmosphere played a big roll to escape the family from all the attention that fame and glamour can bring.
The exterior and body of the mansion is designed to look like a snail, why a snail you might say? Well we chose this specific creature to have its shape incorporated in the main design of the mansion because of its harmonic and survival nature jus like Madonna, the snail is always found by the sea and no matter how rough its surroundings might get the snail always has a comfortable place to snail back and so we wanted to give the same comforting feel and environment to this mansion.


The colures chosen for the exterior of the mansion is very plane and simple but the interior on the other hand is very colorful and lush which represents Madonna's very unpredictable and different personality. The foundation and framework is totally constructed of solid metal but designed to give the impression that the mansion is sitting on very light and weak framework.
The mansion is 3 stories that on each level lay its own individual zones.
The below representation will give the explanation for each level of the mansion
Level 1 (bottom level)
The 1st level is very specious and free from thick walls which consist of living room, rumpus room, dining room, kitchen, toilet, and a very special fireplace in the back of the house which is the rear of the snail
Level 2 (middle level)
   The 2nd level consists of bedrooms.
Level 3 (top level)
The 3rd level consists of a modern in-house cinema, play room, work room.
Not far from the mansion lays an exotic sea shell shaped swimming pool with a jocose and bar that also has a very interesting sauna built on the bottom of level 1 that has an elevator connecting both levels. Also there is a water slide that is used to slide out from the sauna room into a cold watered pool.
We have also incorporated a under water aquarium found on the bottom of the seabed.
