Italian Inspired Beach House in Malibu: Most Expensive Places in The World to Live

Home to many of your favorite Hollywood stars, Malibu is considered to be one of the most expensive places in the world to live. This stunning beach house is proof of that hitting the market at a staggering$26 million.
The home resides on Pacific Coast Highway, and is quite large coming in at 6,152 square feet. The home gains its inspiration from Italian architecture, and it shows with the stone covered facade. Entering the dwelling is a much different story though, as the owner chose clean and simple modern design elements.  The massive dwelling features a 2,500 square foot roof top deck to enjoy those beautiful blue waters of the Pacific.

Real estate: We Define Luxury

Like this? A Sleek Self-Contained Kitchen Design that Disguises Clutter

Everything you need in a kitchen, from appliances to cooking implements, is at your fingertips – yet quickly out of sight – in this smart all-in-one kitchen design. The Logica Kitchen System by Italian kitchen company Valcucine offers a place for absolutely everything you can think of, as well as sliding electrical cord systems for small appliances like toasters and mixers.

Valcucine painstakingly researched the ways in which we interact with our kitchens, determining the best possible layout for optimal convenience and organization. The system consists of a work surface with sinks and burners and an ‘equipped back section’ that can be placed against the wall or used in an island in the middle of the room.


This back section is fitted with plate, knife and bottle racks, hooks for utensils, and storage space for virtually every kitchen implement you can think of as well as a cooker hood, monitor and adjustable sockets. Small storage compartments hold items like spices.


The best part is, when you’re not using the kitchen, you can simply pull down the sliding cabinet doors for a clean look that’s entirely clutter-free.
