Eye of Horus House

This eye-catching (pun intended) vacation home is a design created by Spanish architect Luis de Garrido as a birthday gift for famous model Naomi Campbell from her boyfriend.  Shaped like the Egyptian Eye of Horus, the home is fittingly located on the Isla Playa de Cleopatra in Turkey.

The home, which has 25 bedrooms and 5 lounges, is said to be completely sustainable and quite inexpensive for a home of its size and technology.  The eye’s black outline is made up of photovoltaic panels, which work in combination with a geothermal system to provide all the home’s energy needs.  The multi-level central dome is framed with steel and clad in glazed glass panels.  The natural heating that occurs is offset by tilted louvers, plenty of ventilation, and deliberate landscaping.
