In the same collage image, it's seen completely transformed from the first time it was built and resembled a spacious modern home that had to be boasting a modern interior. Considering the shift from its original state, the property appeared as affluent as anything surrounded by a lush green immediate area.

Judging from the size of the trees in the two pics, it's not only safe to assume the house is located in a village, but that it took the visionary man many years to achieve his goal of improving the home.
