Villa Amanzi

Villa available for rent? YES PLEASE!!!! 6 rooms for $2000-$4000 depending on the season, including a full time chef. http://www.villaamanzi.com/phuketLuxuryVilla_roomsRates.html



Villa Amanzi in Phuket Thailand, built between a mountain and the ocean.





How do you get to the beach?



View from the second story.




The natural vegetation is built right into the home. And with views like this, everything needs to be glass.


Open outdoor living area.



With the house built into the mountain!



Pool view.


Villa Amanzi: a Sumptuous House on the Rocks

Dr. Seuss Library

The main library on UCSD was dedicated to Dr. Seuss and his wife, Audrey,  who donated so much to the campus.

  
I think it fits Dr. Seuss' whimsy perfectly.

 




                                  Interior



                 "READ WRITE THINK DREAM" Perfect inscription. How inspiring.


And I love how the colored doors project on to the floor.
