747 Wing House

Residential Buildings

The 747 Wing House is a private residential structure built using salvaged sections from a decommissioned TWA Boeing 747-131 aircraft. It stands in the Ventura County portion of the Santa Monica Mountains, northwest of Malibu, California. The wings and other airliner components were repurposed into the roof and other structural elements of the house, and their transport to the remote hillside site required both truck and helicopter. The project was completed in 2011 by American architect David Randall Hertz, a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, working with his firm the Studio of Environmental Architecture and associate Lucas Goettsche, after years spent securing government approval for the unusual design.

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
