I am not picky. I can't stand gardening so some nice penthouse with plenty of space that is sufficient for me without seeming too empty...and a T3 A nice lofty view as well, over the pyramids or New York skyline or something pleasant like that...

This is getting to be lots of fun...

My perfect house will be really really wide and really really tall and filled with cool stuff. I'll have a big kitchen with 61 cooks who have funny cook hats and big moustaches and say "Mamma mia" and make me whatever I want every day and ice cream with it. It's going to have a waterslide that's the tallest waterslide in the world and end in a big blue pond with swans and mermaids in it. I'm going to have a helicopter and a tank and an ocean liner and I'm gonna ride them every day.

I'll have a computer which is super-fast and has every game in the world and I'm gonna have the biggest TV in the world and it's gonna show every channel even including the porn channels. I'll also have a huge bathtub with 14 nublie nulbie nublei young maidens and they'll give me sponge baths and something I'm not quite sure of. I'll have a big fluffy bouncy bed and I'll be able to bounce in it even when someone's looking and wrestle with my maidens.

I'll have a huge cabin of cool-ass guns and explosives and I'll shoot them off every day and laugh. And my house will be guarded by ninjas and if some crooks or thieves come close my ninjas will totally flip off and kill them all while shouting "HARAKIRIIIII!" or something equally cool. Oh! Oh! And I'll have a big vault of money like Uncle Scrooge has and I'll roll around in my money every day! I'll also totally have all sorts of cool staircases and sekrit doors and stuff that makes it look mysterious and stuff.

And I'll have spires and helicopter ramps and an airport next to my garage space shuttle launching pad next to my garage. And I'll have a zoo with lions and tigers and zebras and lions and giraffes and koalas and kangaroos and lions and panthers and ostriches and hippopopopopotamuses and unicorns. And I'll have monkey butlers and they'll serve my every whim and every night as I go to sleep they'll tell me jungle stories.

Sweet.

Touche. I like I.M. Pei's way of blending his structures with the environment (okay, most of the time anyway ) and his creative use of geometric shapes.

[Buck Birdseed]

Zaha Hadid is the "really great architect who didn't get anything built for ages 'cause her designs were too good" woman isn't she? Possibly, I was thinking of a more classically simple geometric shape for the house but totally ****ed up works for me too.

I think we all know why you like Pei.

You're right. Zaha is a complete nut.
but i liked your description of a way out geometry, so I thought of her.
otoh, Gae Aulenti did actually do the Musee d'Orsay.

Why no Cesar Pelli mention, LTEC?

[LTEC!]

Because his style doesn't apply to what they argued they wanted.
There are lots of sacred cows to mention, but don't have to mention them all.
