One glance at Robert Downey Jr.'s Malibu home reveals that this house is unlike the others. The white, curvaceous structure is formed of multiple undulating arches opening onto his beautiful backyard and pool. Downey Jr.'s home is the epitome of contemporary design.
As fascinating as the look of the modern home is, the technology behind it is even more interesting. The actor's house was designed by Binishells, an innovative construction company, to create more beautiful, effective, and greener homes. Robert Downey Jr.'s Malibu home was the prototype for the relaunch of the Binishells system, which uses tensile pressure to give shape to a 'building envelope,' hence the monolithic design of the actor's property. To add context, the original Binishells, invented in the 1960s by Dante Bini, were circular concrete shell structures lifted and shaped by air pressure. Though the technology has evolved, the idea has been future-facing from the beginning.
