MANILA, Philippines — If your wish is to live inside an invisible house inspired by Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," best prepare $18 million.
The popular "Invisible House," so-called for its mirror-clad exterior, found in Joshua Tree, California, is on sale.
Owner and co-designer Chris Hanley, Hollywood film producer for "American Psycho" and "Spring Breakers," is selling the 5,500-square-foot home.
He is selling it because he wants to move on to a new project, according to an article on Wall Street Journal.
It took six years to build, and was completed in 2019. Co-designed with Tomas Osinski, Hanley shared he had many inspirations in building the house, including artist Andy Warhol and the monolith featured in the cult-favorite sci-fi film, Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey."
A 100-foot pool that occupies the living room is one of the Invisible House's features. It also has four bedrooms, three baths and a 222-square-foot projection wall. Best of all, its mirror exterior reflects its surrounding, the rocky environs of the dessert, and the look of its locale depending on the weather.
Not just a shiny, rectangular abode, the Invisible House's glass exterior can filter ultraviolet and infrared frequencies, while its roof features an eco-friendly foam. It is also built with solar thermal system with heating panels for electricity, pool and hot water.
