747 Wing House - Studio of Environmental Architecture



The roof of this Malibu house is made from the wings of an aeroplane. The suspended wings rest over self-supporting glass walls that front the hillside house, which was designed by American architects Studio of Environmental Architecture.

Parts of the aeroplane tail shelter the master bedroom, while the fuselage covers a guesthouse, barn and artist’s studio that are each housed in separate buildings.

The architects had to register the house with the Federal Aviation Authority so that pilots would not mistake it for a crashed jet.
