Drimmer purchased it in 1981 and restored it to the glamour of its Howard Hughes days. In his decorating, Drimmer pays homage to Jimmy Buffet fans who call themselves Parrotheads by decorating with parrot curtains, a parrot sculpture and a poster for the novel that inspired the boat's name. He also refurbished some of the original Hughes-era furniture. New Mexico, we visit the home and studio of architect Bart Prince . Prince's home looks like a giant airship tethered to several towers.
Sculptures surround the house, and part of it is set into the ground.
The materials at ground level are heavier, such as concrete. The next level is mostly steel for strength and wood for warmth. The tower portion is masonry and heavy glass. The ground-floor studio has plenty of workspace with good light, and a spiral staircase leads up to the living quarters. Two entrance doors lead guests out to the deck.
