View Full Version : You have an unlimited amount of money....
....what kind of rooms would you have in your dreamhouse?
Not how many rooms, but what kind of rooms (i.e. indoor bowling alley, etc.)
I have a few...
First off, let me state, that my house would have a moat with alligators and a drawbridge.
Then the front door of my house would open directly to a 20 foot high marble hallway (approx 60 feet long).
That hallway would end and you'd be standing in a room, like a rotunda, where 7 other 60 foot long marble hallways would be. Each would lead to a room.

That isn't a room.
I'd have a media room with a stripper pole off to the side.

Let's go with "unlimited money, no wife, no kids". It's more interesting.
I would have fewer rooms than I do now.
Bedroom
Kitchen
One bathroom
Small Gym
Multi-use room. Maybe.
There's a strong chance I'd drop off the grid competely. Go be a Buddhist monk or some s**t.
The very first hallway to the left of the entrence, we will call it, 1, leads to a security room. This room has all kinds of high tech shit so I can keep my house secure.
The next hallway, 2, leads into a Bathroom.
The bathroom has TVs at every toilet and urinal so I never miss a minute of the game.

You know what Versailles looks like?
That.
A room full of bubbles and hot wet chicks
A room where everything is made of chocolate
A room where everything is made of gold
A room where all kinds of beer are brewed
A room where all kinds of beers are drank and strippers dance
Every room could have strippers BTW
A room with zero gravity
A room like the Architect's from The Matrix Reloaded
A room with furniture nailed into the ceiling to trip everyone out
And I would have a door built into the side of the house so drunk people could walk out of the house, and fall into a big net
#3 leads to a patio, with a barbecue, a sweet one.
Theres also a pool, spa, and race track out back.
Door 4 is a kitchen....plain and simple.
(BTW all the rooms are connected to eachother, sorta like in that game Clue)

I would ride a horse or elephant or ostrich everywhere in my house, so each room would need a hitching post.

Thats a great idea. I wish I thought of it first.
The rest of the house is still under construction and I haven't decided what to do with the rooms.

I'd have a brewpub room, a volleyball court, a sauna, a massive woodshop, indoor pool with retractable roof, a self cleaning kitchen, a private deck that I could pee off of even in broad daylight. I may think of more options later.

I know. But the best part is that there's a 40 foot drop into a fountain with electronic targets. You have to use Kentucky Windage to splatter selected targets in a timely fashion. I call it PeeBox 360.

OK.
Full size basketball court.

Small theater with GIANT HDTV and stereo.
In the center of the house would be a good sized garden and fountain surrounded by a collenade - Ancient Rome style.
Fully Functional Kitchen (w/built in smoker).
Library.
Offsite office.
Pool table room.
Comfy living room complete with another giant TV.
Window Room with an amazing view of the landscape.

Definately an indoor pool big enough to swim laps in. I'd also like a theater room. A shop big enough for wood working and metal working. And indoor sound-supressed shooting range would be nice too.
I wouldn't want a bowling alley though. My number one problem is ALWAYS the lane conditions. If I were responsible for the conditions I wouldn't have anything to blame a bad game on.

Yeah, my bowling problem is definitely lane condition related.... They never have those inflatable walls up for me.

How about a room with an overly-green fake football field 10 yards long, so i can make bad diagrams of plays using humans as alledged "players" like those jackasses do on ESPN?

I like the indoor swimming pool idea. However, it would probably have to be well ventilated and be separated from the house so all the humidity doesnt go into the house.

Maybe you could somehow use the humidity for like a green house or something.

Cool out of the box thinking. Just one thing. If you had a zero g room then you wouldn't need to nail the furniture down you could just set it in space and let it float. Hell you could even put a nekkid stripper in there and let her slowly orbit the room.

I would want to have at least one wing of the house where a bunch of rooms were concentric around each other, and every door to the next inner room was a cool and unique secret passage, so no one could get in there except me. And in the innermost room I would have a really nice recliner.
Oh, and I would have a big wraparound 360-degree theater simulator where I could pretend I'm in a war zone or running a marathon or captaining a submarine or whatever else I wanted.

I heard that Bill Gates has rooms where when you walk in, it can sense what kind of mood you are in, and plays the kind of music you want then, makes the lighting the perfect brightness, and the temperature the perfect warmth. That would be nice.

Correct. Actually if you saw the movie AntiTrust, I believe they shot in Gates' home and the paintings changed according to what type of art you liked when you walked into the room.

It would definitely have to have a holodeck.
and big enough that I could have a room in the mountains that I could go skiing.. but then other rooms that were along the pacific ocean, all connected by the Willy Wonka Glass Elevator
along with plenty of stripper rooms, and an Arthur Bryants BBQ room, Plaza 3 room, a Huge wave pool when I'm too lazy to go out to the beach
Or I could just take Hugh Hefners place :)

You could connect them all with hallways, though that might block some species' migatory routes.

Oh! Oh! I would also want an enormous indoor pool/aquarium that was big enough that it would have an underwater suite sticking up from the bottom of the pool like a mushroom. The suite would have a kitchen and living room and bedroom and bathroom, and it would be made up to look like a 1960s-era impression of what an underwater suite would look like.

I'd have one wing that I would call the "Hall of Architecture" where each one of the 100 bedrooms represented a different era of bedroom architecture, from caves to wigwams to medieval monasteries to Renaissance Venice to WWII barracks to sixties Poconos sex bedrooms and so on.

I love my house now. I'd rebuild the same thing with 3 rooms a tad larger 300 extra sq feet,bigger walk in closet for my clothes, add one extra room for an office, add an upstairs loft overlooking the living room with a library full of my books, more easy-access storage, a stone floor to ceiling fireplace, palladium windows, the best hurricane shutters, a storm room and put it all on a bigger wooded lot. I'd renovate my kitchen to a dream gourmet kitchen. Redo my kid's room with a Japanese floor, Shoji sliding doors, futon bed and small indoor waterfall. Dedicate one bedroom to my mom.
Out back, I'd have a small carriage house for my design studio and watercolor painting complete with pottery wheel, ceramics area and kiln. Room for my bunnies to run wild without escaping and natural stone landscaping around my pool. Beautiful gardens everywhere.

I saw a movie biography of him once. He was born a poor black child, and then got rich in the eyewear industry. As part of his riches, he built his parents a larger home that was simply a scaled-up version of their old home. You should see the movie; it's heartwarming.
I wish I could find a picture of the home.
