For those of you who are easily impressed by gold, glamor, glitter and gadgets, here is a home that has all this and more. Located in Majorca, Spain and belonging to prince and talk show host Karl-Heinz Richard Furst von Sayn-Wittgenstein, the 10,700-square-feet living space is available for sale on eBay ( later edit : it seems that the auction was deleted or closed ), for the sum of $28,000,000. The golden residence was inspired by the creations of Lugi Colani, a renowned German industrial designer whose works have a rounded, organic form. More than 1,230 square feet of 24-carat gold are said to be a part of this opulent residence whose appearance definitely has a strong effect. Moreover, you are looking at a home that is overrun by technology, as all the appliances are remote controlled. The six entrance doors featuring Swarovski crystals, the generous outdoor pool and statues complete this home’s image of a luxurious and flashy crib. So…love it or hate it?

Here are some inspiring words from Vicente Guallart, Director of the IAAC: “Buildings must be like trees, which are self sufficient, and must follow natural principles. Rather than built, the project was manufactured, as digital manufacturing machine tools (known as 3D printers) were used in the construction process. This process partakes on the humanistic idea, advocated by Guallart, that things must be again produced in cities. Says Guallart “We produced our solar house with researchers, in accordance with medieval principles: the designer and the builder are the same person.”- via
