Kanye West completely guts interior of his newly purchased $57.3M Malibu beach house

Kanye West has big plans for his newly purchased $57.3 million Malibu beach house, with the rapper completely gutting the interior of his beachfront residence.

New pictures of the property show the concrete residence barely resembling what it once did when West, 44, purchased it in September 2021.

The beachfront side of the home has been completely exposed, yet the front entry way remains intact with various warning signs placed upon the doors.

It’s unclear what exactly Kanye plans on doing with his home.

Before the renovations, the two-story residence contained massive windows facing the ocean and a concrete rooftop.

Now, the Pacific-facing windows and concrete ceilings have been removed.

A large, black sheet now hangs over the home, covering two floors of the residence.

No workers were seen on the property, but red caution tape and various orange cones were seen placed about the property

In addition, several ‘Restricted Area’ signs were tacked onto the entry ways. 

Kanye’s new home was designed by Japanese Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando and was built by Marmol Radziner.

Self-taught architect Ando, 80, is renowned in the industry as he is behind the He Art Museum in China and the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and Kanye became a fan of the Osaka, Japan native after visiting the ‘art island’ he designed in Naoshima.

The entry way had a line of orange cones blocking the driveway and several Restricted Area signs 

Keep out! The signs indicated only ‘authorized personnel’ were allowed inside 

No doubt the part house, part sculpture home was a must-have for Kanye as it is one of only a handful of homes designed by Ando in the United States.

The home was previously owned by financier and ex of Ashley Olsen, Richard Sachs, who bought the home at a much lower price of $1.9million.

The 3,665-square-feet, four bedroom home sits on a 5,672-square-feet property right by a public beach. 

The home is divided into three stories: a bottom floor with three guest bedrooms, a middle floor which is a shared space, and a top floor which contains the primary suite.

The property does not include a yard or outdoor space but there is a lounge area surrounding a firepit on the second floor in addition to a rooftop terrace with direct access to the beach from a staircase.

West purchased the home last year for $57.3 million
