Comedy was very excellent to Bob Hope. Great sufficient to allow him to commission John Lautner to design his palatial home in Palm Springs—a concrete and glass wonder, now on the industry spot for the first time at a whopping $ 50 Million asking value. Developed in 1973 and finished in 1980, the house—part of a desert oasis that boasts the requisite swimming pools, tennis courts and placing green—bears the dramatic curves and futuristic kind widespread to Lautner buildings, along with 1 jaw-dropping flourish: a circular opening in the concrete roof, which leaves the central courtyard open to the sky. That feature alone need to have to be really worth a million or two, we consider.
