For architectPeter Mason, a beautiful home blends in with its natural surroundings. “For an architect, spectacular scenery is always both a challenge and an opportunity. It demands that the land should speak for itself.Even the smallest of homes on the most modest of budgets can become part of the wider expanse. It makes little difference whether it’s a small part of the wider landscape or an enclosed jewel in the cityscape.“Interior designerJulie Rawdingmight sound quite radical, but she believes that a beautiful home is “the most important thing” one can do for themselves. The designers atKrista + Homelist some reasons why.First, we spend a lot of time in our homes, especially those who work from home. Second, we socialize with our family and close friends there. And lastly, we do most of our self-care rituals at home, be it meditating, taking a nap, reading a book, or taking a bubble bath.

A famous English architect, William Winde, designedBuckingham Palacein 1703, and the 2-year construction period finished in 1705. Until 1762, it was the property of the Dukes of Buckingham. And, listen up, Bridgerton fans, King George III then acquired it and made it the queen’s residence and called it ‘The Queen’s House.’

It’s strange calling Buckingham Palace a ‘house.’ It contains 775 rooms, including 19 staterooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. It’s no surprise then that it’s also the third biggest house in the world. There’s also a swimming pool in the palace. King George VI apparently ordered itsconstructionso that his daughters Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret could have privacy.

Europe’s most expensive private residence isVillaLa Leopoldain the French Riviera. It got its name from its owner, the infamous King Leopold II of Belgium. Some notable owners are industrialist Gianni Agnelli, Canadian financier Izaak Walton Killam, and, until 2022, Brazilian-Monegasque billionaire and socialite Lily Safra.

The late French fashion designer Pierre Cardin’sThe Bubble Palaceis also on the list of one of the most expensive homes in the world. The ‘house’ is worth approximately $420 million and has been available for rent following Cardin’s death in 2020. Hungarian architect Antti Lovag designed the retro-futuristic palace in 1989, and it took a whopping 14 years to finish construction.

Taking the 9th place in the 2023 most expensive homes race is Beyoncé & Jay Z’sMalibu mansion. The definite value of the house differs when looking at different outlets, but the number is around $200 million.The creative mind behind it is Japanese architectTadao Ando, who has many celebrity homes under his name. He also designed the Pulitzer Arts Foundation Museum in Missouri, The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois, and the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.

Of course, money doesn’t always equal a beautiful and, most importantly, cozy house. I personally always liked Frank Lloyd Wright’sphilosophythat homes should be “functional and humane, focused not only on a building’s appearance but how it would connect with and enrich the lives of those inside it.”
