Architect Richard Meier's White Castle is now on the market for a pricey $11.8 million. The home was personally designed by Richard Meier. The property is situated in Bacon Rd, Old Westbury, NY 11568. It features a long gated drive fit for a king. According to a previous report by realtor.com, "The White Castle has a mesmerizing view of the landscape through dramatic walls of glass."
The White Castle features six classy bedrooms. It contains four full-bathrooms and four half-bathrooms. The castle lies on a sprawling 4.73 acreage of land. Richard Meier designed and built this 11,000-square-foot back in 1972. When a prominent New York City-based architect bought this home in the year 2000, it took an entire year to perform renovations before moving in as stated in a report by realtor.com.
Although an architect himself, he didn't modify Meier's structure. As an alternative, he focused on the interior, lessening the number of bedrooms from 10 to six, creating room for more living area and a third-floor gym.
The home's architectural design is something to behold. For instance, there are three ways to access the various levels of the four-story house as stated in a report by realtor.com. One way is through an intense circular staircase in the middle of the first floor's great room. There is also a ramp that gives access to the different portions of the house. The third one is the staircase that is situated at the back. The interior décor of this home is stunning as well. It features a wall of arched, atrium-like glass, as well as the theatrical exhibitions of artwork found in the home. This home is indeed a home fit for a king. It offers comfort, luxury and style like no other.
Richard Meier is a modernist "starchitect" and is also the managing partner of Manhattan-based Richard Meier & Partners Architects as stated in a report by therealdeal.com. As for his total net worth, it was not disclosed.
