IN PICS: Kanye West buys beach side Malibu House designed by Ando for $57.3 million

American rapper Kanye West has reportedly purchased a Japanese island house for a whopping $57.3 million in Malibu, California. According to Dirt.com, Malibu house has been designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tao Ando. 4,000 square feet residence is part house and part sculpture and is one of few Ando-designed homes in United States. 

For quite some time, West was obsessed with place ever since he visited Naoshima. He has described Ando's Japanese art island as life-changing. He once detailed his wish to live inside a James Turrell sculpture which is found on island. 

Here’s how Kanye West's new island house in Japan looks like:

house sits between two or homes that span under 5,700 square feet and stretch from ro to beach. At front, it has a two-lane street that is often used by local surfers and beachgoers. With a relatively wide public beach at his side and yard, West will save money on landscaping bills for vaguely Brutalist-inspired house.  three-storey house is designed to look like a military bunker on outside while having 4 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms on or side of wall. It also has a penthouse-level room with a breathtaking view. 

property previously belonged to a Wall Street financier and ex of Ashley Olsen, Richard Sachs, who bought home at a much lower price of $1.9million. Before being taken off-market, house was initially offered at $75 million last year. Kanye's new property is about a half-an-hour drive from $60million Hidden Hills mansion where his estranged wife and mor to his four children Kim Kardashian lives.
