Kim Kardashiancan’t get enough of home design — so she’s working on two new vacation getaways for herself and her family with a pair of world-class architects.
“Pritzker Prize–winning architect Tadao Ando is building Kim’s Palm Springs home, which she describes as ‘concrete, gray-toned, and really zen,’ Wang writes. “While Kengo Kuma, who designed the National Stadium for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as well as LVMH’s Japan headquarters, is creating a glass-and-wood lake house for her in an undisclosed location, where Kim travels every Fourth of July.”
Kardashian and West reportedly bought a desert plot,which is technically in the town of La Quinta in the Coachella Valley, in 2019 for $6.3 million, according to theLos Angeles Times. The two acres are on the same street where Kim’s mother,Kris Jenner, and sister,Kylie Jenner, also own property. A representative for Kardashian had no comment on the purchase at the time.

TheVoguefeature also gives fans another glimpse inside the Hidden Hills estate, which the former couple purchased in 2004 and has been the subject of much intrigue and scrutiny sinceWest offered a first look at the striking interiorsin April 2018.
Kardashian and West collaborated with interior designer and architect Axel Vervoordt to create the spare, all-white home. In a2020Architectural Digestcover story, West dubbed it a “futuristic Belgian monastery.”

“The design process she and Ye collaborated on with Vervoordt led Kim to a love affair with architecture, specifically Japanese,” Wang writes.
The trio spent nearly seven years renovating the property,Voguereports.
“Though the home began as the couple’s shared vision,” Wang writes. “It now feels very Kim, virtually every room rendered in the monochromatic palette that has become her signature, from the Skims she designs to the Balenciaga she consistently wears, down to the cars she owns—a Maybach, Rolls-Royce, and Lamborghini SUV, all in the exact same shade of gray.”
The home includes a glam room for theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansalum which “corresponds less in size to a conventional wardrobe and more to the footprint of a classic six in Manhattan,” according to Wang. There’s also a black basketball court out back that “Kim once built for Kanye, in the marriage’s better days.”

PEOPLE previously reported that the home also features mystifyingbasin-free sinksin the primary bathroom — which she showed off during herVogue “73 Questions” interview— as well as asecurity podthat is manned 24-hours per day.
The staralso has plans to add several structures including a “underground vault, subterranean parking, an attached subterranean ‘wellness center’ and a detached guardhouse,” according toa neighbor who filed a complaint to attempt to haltthe projects. Their bid was later denied.
