What Gave Him The Idea To Build It?

During an interview with the Washington’s Top News, Makowsky was questioned as to why he chose to build this house. His reply was, “After being on major mega-yachts across the world and on beautiful private aircrafts, it didn’t make sense to me people were spending $350 million on a boat, $100 million on a plane and they’re living in $20 million and $30 million homes … The homes have not kept up with the toys. So my feeling is if you’re going to spend over 12 hours a day in your home it should be the most amazing experience in the world.”

How The House Should Make Everyone Feel

Makowsky feels that he can call his passion project “the eighth wonder of the world.” He continues, “Every inch of this house is breathtaking. It’s a sensory overload. I’ve shown this house about 25 times now. People go in and use just about every adjective on half of the lower level [alone]. There’s no more adjectives.”
