"This is from the description of the "Ikeda House" on the grounds of the former site for Soka University in Malibu (that plan was quietly scrapped and never spoken of again):
"Ikeda hates noise, so we laid lumber over the wooden floors, spread sound proofing material over it, and then laid a double layer of three inch thick boards. We then put Japanese cypress on top of that, giving the floor four layers of wood. We put Japanese cypress on the ceilings and the walls for sound proofing. The bedroom windows were double paned as well. We covered the floor with thick white shag carpet. The bed was king size, with gold plated piping. We demolished a parking area big enough to hold three limousines and built a rock-lined hot tub. The water is always maintained at 102 degrees with a heater, and the hot water flowed down over the rocks like a cascade. Ikeda was extremely pleased with it, and often said, 'This is my home in America."' Source
102° just happens to be the optimal hot tub temperature for coastal California, which can often get a bit chilly (40s-50s)." -- Blanche
A perfect place for a murder but where's the plastic layer over the shag carpet to prevent the blood stains. I wonder if Mr. Williams blood was spilled there? Certainly in a closed meeting place as this.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, a perfect place also for noise or secrets not getting out.
