I found this on Ebay,and it got me thinking. If someone was to buy these,and then have these blueprints used to actually build the house for themselves,would they be breaking any laws? I just don't see why anyone would just want to own these blueprints,and not do anything with them.

I wonder which way the main arrow is pointing, N.S.E. or W?

Why?

it really is to bad that it wasn't built,looks like it would have been really cool,and 2 Story Salt Water Aquarium

that is pretty damn interesting. I wonder how much it would've cost to build? Too bad he didn't go for it, though he was probably very wise not to have

Starting bid $999.00, how much did it sell for?

Nobody bid on it.

$999, because no one will bid.

Why do you say this? I am sure that it would have cost at least a million is not more,especially cause of the complexity of the project,and all the other special extras.

I smell a hoax...

EmeraldSkies said:

it looks really expensive because it's such a custom job (not that I know anything about building)

and as far as resale value - who the hell wants a symbol-shaped house except for Prince (and his crazy fams)?

Who would buy a blueprin.. On ebay no less..And why is he so obsessed with that symbol that he would make a house out of it.

Those are cool blueprints

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong b ut I think I have seen a photo of the model of this house. My stuff is packed up as I'm moving but I think in the Emancipation lyric book or something like that. Maybe even in the background of his office in the Loveforoneanother video.

It was the house in the video game. I think it was around 95?

I have the game and that house kind of looks like it but I remember a picture of a model like an architect would make. It even had a little car driving into the symbol.

I don't know what the deal is with the symbol,but the rest of it sounds pretty damn cool. And all those windows! I would be in freakin' heaven!

It's in either the lyric book or the booklet that comes with the CD. I remember seeing the above view.

prime said:

The CD booklet has a picture of what looks like a building site,and the symbol,but the plans were dated 1998,and the CD was released in 1996. Also the rounded top part in the plans looks different than the one in the CD booklet.

I'm pretty sure there was a model of this shown in some video at some point too. I seem to recall a shot of his office or something and there was a fairly detailed model of a "symbol" building and surrounding grounds - much like these plans - sitting on a table. Wasn't shown in detail, just a fleeting glance.

The model was shown in the Gold Experience special he did back in '95. It was the special on VH1 with the girl stocking him- saying she was his soul mate.

The whole thing ended with the "Gold" video and o(+> showing her that Mayte was his real soulmate.

The model was in a couple of scenes in his office in Pasily Park.

MrGee...
is that you?

musicman said:

I think your totally right about that. I went and dug out my stuff because it was bugging me and in the "Emancipation" book "Words and Pictures" you will find a picture of the model on the page for the song "New World". It matches the blue prints! The picture shows the house from above with a red car driving into the garage, grass and trees. The whole thing. Plus there is a smaller picture in the corner that shows it from straight on.
