Daniel Libeskind
Renowned architect Daniel Libeskind has ventured into the prefabricated home market with his latest project, a 5,500-square-foot villa that can be shipped and assembled anywhere in the world. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa will cost between $2.8 million and $4.2 million, depending on where it is being shipped. The home includes a solar thermal system, a basement sauna and an aluminum- and zinc-decorated exterior. Buyers can choose between two interior styles, an angular one with white floors and a version with gentler lighting. The villa also includes a stainless steel staircase and a wine cellar. The design is expected to go on the market this summer.

"Mr. Libeskind says he was involved in every aspect of the design, from the door handles to the kitchen layout to the placement of a barbecue area." OK. That would explain the consistent ugliness of this design.
