Hum Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Are you a Trekkie with a few mil to burn? Well, here's the opportunity of a lifetime: For $10.5 million, you can own this Australian home designed by a lifelong "Star Trek" fan -- using the Starship Enterprise as his inspiration. Owner Peter Chedid told The Wall Street Journal that he has been a fan of the show since he was a child. He said he wanted to create a living space that was also a work of art. Though the house doesn't travel at warp speed, the modern design's layout does create a feeling of "endless open space," Chedid said. The home has six bedrooms, six bathrooms and an underground five-car garage. And in true Trekkie fashion, the home features an entertainment room with a 120-inch projector screen and custom-made, feather-filled seating for up to 10 people. The walls of the room are airbrushed with a mural of an image taken from the Hubble telescope. To take advantage of being on earth, the backyard has a "resort-style" 40-foot infinity edge swimming pool, providing spectacular views of a surrounding national park. source more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It's very nice but it doesn't scream 'star trek' at me.. I expected something more akin to this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayMan2K Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Agreed. I'm not really seeing the Star Trek inspiration here. It is really sleek though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 He took the inspiration from the Enterprise. It is not designed to look like the Enterprise tho I see a little hit of the Enterprise in the design. The curves in the house kind of look like the saucer section.
