Roman Abramovich, one of the  richest men in the world (with a £14billion fortune), has purchased all nine flats of a prime London block with Harvey Nichols and Harrods as their corner shops.

Look, I can see my yacht from here

Considering the size and the prime Knightsbridge location of the property, experts estimate it’s worth up to £150million…

5 stories up + 3 stories down = 8 stories

Abramovich lives with his girlfriend Dasha Zhukova and their one year old son Aaron. And I think it’s safe to say that the palatial house which boasts a cinema, an indoor pool, steam room and sauna, as well as a children’s study and entertainment room will have ample space for the three of them. Be real – 30,000 square feet is enough space for anyone.

See this old post: The Worlds Biggest Yacht (belongs to Roman of course)

Generally, when we think of Kuwait, we think of Saddam Hussain and an oil war. But I beg of you to please put all those thoughts behind you. In fact I’ve got a  little something that I think will help you move right along…

Behold The Star House…

Arrive on your boat. Naturally.

Nestled into the landscape, this beach house blends naturally into the coastline of Kuwait and slowly unfolds itself as you approached from the desert or the coast.

To infinity and beyond...

When you arrive, you get a glimpse of the sea whilst going down to the public space of the chalet. On this lower level, the house extends into the landscape and the sea, accentuated by an infinity pool in the garden. The private side of the house, located at the entry level, is concealed from the visitors. Bedrooms and private living spaces remain isolated from daily activities.

The Star House by night is plain bliss

The initial design was master planned for three detached dwellings, each with extensive sea views while simultaneously achieving privacy from one another. The client, instead, opted for a single house, two bungalows and a boathouse, with this incredible garage stashed below…

For the love of science. Really! Really? Really.

If you like this home, best you take a look at some of these:

• Irresistible Spanish Island Villa
• Compass Pointe Five-Room Dream
• Floating House in Seattle
• and be sure to Step Into This Carla Ridge Palace…

Oh my, what do we have here?

I couldn’t help myself sharing this exotic villa with infinity pool and spectacular views. Sharing is caring right?

mmm, a swimming pool and some palm trees!

Sure, it may be a little exorbitant, but I want to be inside this luxury pad worse than Steers burgers want to be inside me!

Infinity - one way to describe it!

The circular infinity pool as well as its phenomenal location make this villa a unique place for a getaway. Lets be honest here… no one’s gonna rev their car outside your window at 8 am and the likelihood of trick or treaters is minimal!

Simple and fresh.

The main house consists of three separate bedrooms, all having access to the infinity pool. You can be like “Hey, I’ll meet you in the pool”.

Then when the sun sets...

The villa can be rented for week-ends, so if you happen to visit Costa Careyes, maybe this post will actually come in handy?

Does the vibe get any better than this?

Right now, a moment of silence please.

Heavenly angel "aaaaaaaah" sounds right about... now!

Nestled perfectly in the woods.

A Brazilian architect named Marcio Kogan designed this home in Rio De Janeiro, Brasil.

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because I’m an architectural nutcase and this particular design embodies the unique organic architecture vibe of my favorite designer ever, Frank Lloyd Wright…

Note the recessed glass sliding doors left of the pool

Love the way the forrest gobbles up the see-through space

Don't ignore the bridge leading off into the trees

Imagine snoozing on that rug next to a warm fire

Blending the outside with the inside is an art of note

Coasters are coasters are coasters. But every now and then, something unique comes along and makes an impact…

These Toxic Spills glowing coasters will do just that, in the light and in the dark! Get 4 in a set for just $11.95 (about R85).

They look awesome, are easy to wash and will certainly add some personality to your drinks!

A while back we thought we had found the most Irresistible Spanish Island Villa, but then we found this luxury property (also in Mallorca, Spain) for you to drool over…
