MANSION

Mansion is a large dwelling house typically built for the wealthy and Mansion is definitely a symbol for elite community. The word Mansion derives (through Old French) from the Latin word mansus which means the perfect passive participle of manere to remain stay. Mansion built during the last and present centuries usually have specially designed rooms meant to accommodate leisure activities of a particular kind.

Some Mansions will have a music conservatory or greenhouse, other Mansions will have an infinity pool or a home theater while some Mansions will have all of these features. At the beginning of the 20th century no true mansion would have been built without a room to house a private library or office, while at the beginning of the 21st century the presence of a room designed for a home theater or cinema is a must.

Mansion built (even) by an experienced architect will consume a lot of time, and this is a better indicator of the lasting status of a Mansion than the number of its rooms, its total size, or its special amenities. Some Mansions designed by the late Richard Neutra and Quinlan Terry are good examples of modern designs which have been nearly perfectly tailored to fit a particular customer.

A modern Mansion today may not necessarily be limited to a single house standing alone. Compounds, or a grouping of larger houses have become more popular. The Kennedy Compound is an example of one family building surrounded by large houses on a single plot.
