This 250,000-Square-Foot Home Is Modeled After a French Château

Though Geoffrey Bradfield and Roric Tobin of B&T Global create breathtaking homes around the world, their work is often shrouded in secrecy. That's because their clients happen to be some of the world's wealthiest—the kind who would commission a homes that one might call "A 21st Century Palace." That's the title of a new book spotlighting the firm's recent residential project, completed with the LA-based architecture firm Landry Design Group: a 250,000-square-foot mansion that sits on some 30 acres of land. "By any standard," reads the book's introduction, "it is the very definition of palatial."

But, far from being gauche, the expansive home is thoughtfully designed and deliberately executed, taking cues from such notable palaces throughout history as Blenheim, Versailles, and Sanssouci. Each room contains a level of customization and craftsmanship that surpasses most complete projects. Follow along for a virtual tour—and purchase A 21st Century Palace: Asia here.
