naomi campbell & eye of horus-shaped house for birthday present

Supermodel Naomi Campbell’s Russian billionaire boyfriend is proposing to build her an eco-house in the shape of the Eye of Horus. Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, good health and royal power so the idea sounds goods, although a bit odd. The proposed site is Sedir Island in Turkey (also known as the Cleopatra island) so I guess that makes the theme consistent.

The vision of architect Luis de Garrido includes 25 bedrooms so this is no tiny eco-cottage, but he notes that the structure is not expensive – as Naomi is known for taste for luxury I wonder if she’s happy with that statement… The black line of the eye is actually going to be photovoltaic panels, which should provide all energy needed for the building. All in all it sounds very interesting and I hope the birthday girl will accept this present – it would be great to see what the finished house ends up looking like!
