residence
in the side of a hill overlooking Lake Washington.

is a very modern, 21st century residence in the
"Pacific lodge" style, with advanced electronic systems everywhere. In

has a large private library with a domed reading room. While it does

security can know who is in the residence by the weight of their
footsteps.

Speakers would
be hidden beneath the wallpaper to allow music to follow you from room
to room. Portable touch pads would control everything from the TV sets
to the temperature and the lights, which would brighten or dim to fit
the occasion or to match the outdoor light.

to the residence are surveyed and given a
microchip
upon
entrance. This small chip sends signals throughout the home, and a
given room's temperature and other conditions will change according to
preset user preferences. According to King County public records, as of
2002, the total assessed value of the property (land and home) is $113
million, and the annual property tax is just over $1 million.
