Relatively recently, an unusual property appeared on the global real estate market that could easily become the most prominent object of pride for the world’s wealthiest individuals. This property is the most expensive real estate in the world — the legendary ‘dream house’ of French fashion designer Pierre Cardin.
The age of the world’s most expensive mansion just slightly exceeds the thirty-year mark, which certainly doesn’t make it any kind of shabby ‘hut.’ Since its construction, it has lost none of its strength or design appeal. The house itself covers an area of 13,000 square feet (1,200 square meters) and boasts 28 rooms, 10 bathrooms, and a beautiful amphitheater with 500 seats.
The legendary estate is located 6 miles (10 kilometers) from Cannes, on the picturesque coral slopes of the small village of Théoule-sur-Mer. From a distance, the house’s structure resembles whimsical hobbit houses or an extraterrestrial spaceship that landed on the slopes of the Ligurian Sea. The locals often refer to it as the ‘Bubble House,’ and it can astonish anyone, not just with its fantastic price tag of $450 million. AdmiGram.com will tell you the most interesting things about it.

Construction of the luxurious mansion began in 1975 under the guidance of Hungarian architect Antti Lovag. Being next to Palais Bulles, as this house is called, one can easily feel like a character from a fantasy movie.

Despite the architect’s goal of stylizing the interior to resemble the cave dwellings of our ancestors, the result is very original and futuristic.

The house from the future still hasn’t found its new owner. And it’s not the oval doors and windows to blame but the astronomical cost, even for billionaires. According to The Daily Mail, the house was first put up for sale back in 2015, with an asking price of £300 million ($414.5 million).

Imagine how romantic it would be to listen to Lana Del Rey’s hits or a famous opera singer in such an amphitheater at sunset.

Inside the house, it’s cozy and warm. However, all of this, including atmospheric humidity, is closely monitored by electronics. If you like falling asleep in coolness and waking up to warmth, the ‘onboard computer’ will handle it all.

Inside any of the rooms, there’s always plenty of natural light. The architects designed the windows in such a way that natural lighting allows you to avoid turning on the lights until late dusk. It’s worth noting that a computer controls the lighting of each room. You won’t find a single light switch on the walls.

If you enjoy taking a bath and having a cup of coffee in the morning, three stunning pools will help you greet the dawn in style. After experiencing a couple of such dawns, anyone would feel an urge to become a poet or a composer.

By the way, evenings at Palais Bulles can be equally impressive. Pierre Cardin’s estate has served as a venue for fashionable parties by MTV and various social events for the Christian Dior house.

Hosting an unforgettable wedding, party, or presentation in the ‘bubble house’ is not as expensive as you might think. It’s said that renting the estate for a day can start from $11,000.
