Have you ever wondered how the house<\/strong><\/em> of the mega recording artist Aubrey<\/strong> Drake<\/strong> Graham<\/strong><\/em> looks like? We are here to show you the 50,000 square feet extravagant mansion envisioned by the most well-known luxury architectural and interior designer: Ferris Rafauli<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Truly a marvel of craftsmanship, with a mix of limestone, bronze, exotic woods, and other noble materials<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

This project<\/strong><\/em> has been meticulously conceived and executed and Drake explained that this luxury<\/strong> design<\/strong> home<\/strong><\/em> was a special project for him since he was building it in his hometown<\/strong><\/em>. His goal was to create a structure<\/strong><\/em> that would hold for 100 years while still maintaining the monumental<\/strong><\/em> scale and feel.<\/p>\n

With its cues taken from the traditional Beaux Arts<\/strong> architecture<\/strong><\/em>, the house has a modern<\/strong> Art Deco<\/strong><\/em> inspiration, referencing a classic<\/strong> historical<\/strong><\/em> style that has been tweaked and rejuvenated to Drake\u2019s young cool spirit<\/strong><\/em>; worthy of being considered as one of the top residential<\/strong><\/em> projects of the year.<\/p>\n

Drake wanted to have an overwhelming high<\/strong> luxury<\/strong><\/em>, and he managed to deliver that message through Rafauli<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u2018s excellent approach of \u201conce you\u2019ve chosen a certain style<\/strong><\/em>, you can dance within that style\u201d, within the size of the rooms<\/strong><\/em> and the type of materials<\/strong><\/em> used we can really see reflected<\/strong><\/em> the work Drake<\/strong><\/em> has put in over the years, just like how he wanted.<\/p>\n

All of the bespoke furnishings of Drake<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s Manor house<\/strong><\/em> were custom<\/strong><\/em>-designed by Rafauli<\/a><\/strong><\/em> with materials that range from dyed ostrich skin and mohair to Macassar and bronze. However, the interior design<\/strong><\/em> also features some of the top<\/strong> products<\/strong><\/em> from the world\u2019s most famous luxury brands, including DelightFULL<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Brabbu<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Venicem<\/strong><\/em>, Jonathan Browning Studios<\/strong><\/em>, Louis Vuitton<\/strong><\/em>, among others.<\/p>\n

We can see what kind of masterpieces<\/strong><\/em> were put in this astonishing project by taking a look at the master<\/strong><\/em> bathroom<\/strong><\/em>, which features a Nero Marquina marble<\/strong><\/em> vanity and tub. Not only that but we can see custom furniture all over the place such as the chandelier by Lumifer, the Brabbu<\/strong><\/em><\/a> sconces and a chair by Rafauli<\/strong><\/em><\/a> himself.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, Drake<\/strong><\/em> also wanted to have an official<\/strong> NBA-size<\/strong> court<\/strong><\/em>, painted with details inspired by Drake\u2019s lifestyle<\/strong><\/em> brand, October\u2019s Very Own. In the end, when looking at the splendors of his Canadian<\/strong><\/em> palace, Drake is mesmerized. \u201cI think the house shows that I have true faith in myself to take on this task when I was just 27 and see it through,\u201d he says, now a 33-year-old superstar. \u201cI also think the house says that I will forever<\/strong><\/em> remain solid in the place I was born.\u201d<\/p>\n
