A private residence of a world-changing entrepreneur,a frontier of science with a certainty to change it.A tribute to science and discovery through geometry and forms and through selection of materials.The footprint as well as vertical sections are overlapping shapes and forms of triangles,circles and squares.Circle,triangle and square together at every level–whether the macrocosm, cosmos or microcosm –is a universal symbol for the divine creation,in its perfect manifestation of spirit (circle), soul (triangle)and in body (square).The main building/structural materials: concrete,steel, glass
