I have seen the photographs of the Hilton Home at Seacrest Beach posted on this website. What can you tell me about this home? Architect? Owners? Length of construction? Proposed use?

That outdoor room in the last photo looks really cool.
I wonder how much Charlie would pay me to wash his windows everyday?

As far as I'm concerned yes, they are current. You can also see in the first pic that there is now a wall built around the property. I had asked why the project was taking so long, but he never gave me an answer.

Because he would be out of a job if he did finish it...that's why.

Originally, I though this house was wierd. But as they started finishing it, it really started to be amazing. PLEASE let me know if they ever open it for tours! I bet it is incredible in person!

All the pictures I've posted are from the end of May '07. The Georgian next door was being re-done due to mold.

I found this on Google Earth and couldnt decide if it looked like a seagull or a "winged" moon. But I have heard it has no corners because "bad spirits" couldnt get out if there were corners.
I could only think that this was going to be another "Winchester House".

I was told this house was designed (inspired) by the Nautilis of 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Jules Verne) fame, and is meant to look like that from out in the Gulf.
I guess with that size and architecture, it can inspire many comparisons.

There is significant change on that huge carriage/guest house they are building right beside it. I wonder if Charlie needs a gardner?

Yes! I noticed LIGHTS on in the house a few nights ago. It was really cool--the angle of the ceiling and the windows blend in with the night sky and the lights inside the house look like stars. 
That is the first sign of life I've seen in that house (other than construction) in the 6 1/2 yrs. I've lived a mile away from it.

I am liking it more and more myself....someday, in the distant future I could see it become a Maritme/Nature Museum along the lines of the innovative Guggenheim in NYC.

Nice.

Not as of late, it will probably never be finished. There is now a guest cottage of the same design going up to the east of the main house.
