It straddles 3 ocean-front lots on one of the prettiest little coves you ever saw. It was built for (IIRC) the guy who started Broadcom, and it's known locally as the "Portobello Mushroom House". 8 bedrooms, unbelievable interior pools, boaling alley, and a staggering subterranean garage with office and bedroom.


All this and more, for just $75M.

I see these shipping pix so often...why wouldn't they attach a strap/chain or something else across the tops of the containers (if all stacked at the same height)? It would seem to make it that much more rigid as a single large object rather than stacks of boxes very close to each other, if they were tied together at the top. Would it take too long? Can't cost more in labor than these insurance fiascos.

The biggest problem was diverting the traffic at the base of the overpass right where cars were trying to merge into traffic from an on ramp. During that little trip to downtown and back, the were like 5 or 6 cars facing the wrong way. This obviously the worst. And today the news feed has been flooding with accident reports. This one just popped up.

This one is not on a 'cove' specifically from the looks of it, but seems to have a similar layout


There have been some custom choices made in architecture..
