A California woman, Francie Rehwald, is constructing a house using parts from a 747 Jumbo jet, aiming for an eco-friendly and uniquely feminine design. The house will feature the jet's wing as the roof, its nose as a meditation temple, and the bulge as a loft. The project, which begins construction in June, involves a $100,000 investment for the plane parts and is projected to cost several million dollars overall. The design has sparked mixed reactions, with some appreciating its modern aesthetic and potential views, while others criticize it as visually unappealing and impractical. The FAA has mandated that visible airplane parts be marked to avoid confusion with a crashed aircraft. The house will be located on a hillside in Malibu, providing scenic vistas. Discussions also touch on the architectural merits compared to famous designs, highlighting divergent opinions on aesthetics and functionality.
