Malibu, CA – Architect David Hertz is building Francie Rehwald the home of her dreams: an eco-friendly house on 55 acres in the remote hills of Malibu, California.

Called the Wing House, the structure is being built using a commercial Boeing 747-200. We first reported the plans for the house back in 2005. But the structure requires FAA approval as to not be mistaken for a crash site.
Boeing 747’s are enormous pieces of modern transportation. Measuring 230 feet in length and 63 feet tall, the aircraft has over 17,000 cubic feet of cargo room. That’s a lot of house! Which is why the “house”– using almost all of the 395,000 pound plane–is spread over seven different structures.
The main residence dawns the plane’s wings while the cockpit has become the Meditation Pavilion. The first class cabin deck is now the Guest House but the oddest transformation is the Animal Barn. Made from the lower half of the fuselage, which forms the cargo hold, the Animal Barn is intended for housing endangered species.
The Wing House is expected to reach completion this year.
WHere does she have all this money from
Big whoop.
Let me see David Hertz turn a house into a plane. Now that is a chochmah.
P.S. Is he related to the famous heshy hertz from Borough Park?
Looks plain.
This lady who’s making this house is out of her mind, another left wing nut job.
If Rehwald will send me a 747 to pick me up from NY, I will visit them
Is the house governed by the FAA? is there a security checkpoint before you go in?
the actual aircraft that is being used is a retired plane from Tower Air
this is really cool but she is an absolute wacko!!
is he related to Rabbi Hertz from queens?
One earthquake [california] & that plane will take off again.
Where will it land this time?
Pretty smart, actually. She’ll probably be charging admission for viewings and make back her money.
does a boeing come with a kosher mezizah?
thats the ugliest peice of garbage I have ever seen.
The lady’s a wing-nut…
Air-Head!
