Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz Beatz have let out the doors of their California art-filled mansion to Architectural Digest.

The beautiful modernist mansion is seated in the mountains north of San Diego. It’s built with white concrete and glasses rising from the cliffside.

The mansion which the couple together with their children, Genesis and Egypt describe as their “Dreamland”, is nicknamed “Razor House” after a neighbouring Razor Point Trail.

Alicia and Swizz mansion is filled with artworks by Black artists, a fleet of luxurious Ferraris, an infinity pool and a recording studio where Swizz Beatz calls “the grown-up floor”

The 11,000-square-foot-mansion’s photo had served as his phone’s screensaver for eight good years before he moved in with his family.

“Every wall in this house, every bit of it, is sculpture,” he added. “These beautiful ‘S’ shapes, these chevrons going down the hillside, curvatures flying in space over your head. It’s more akin to sculpture than architecture.”

When the real estate agent who represents the couple sent a text to inform them the home was on the market for sale, Swizz Beatz was worried about his wife Keys, who loved living on the East Coast would be reluctant to move out

“She’s Miss New York,” he said. “They might as well make a sculpture of her the (new) Statue of Liberty.”

During a morning meditation session at the property Keys was convinced to relocate, as she watched parasailers float over a close-by mountain.

“At that moment, I felt like I was witnessing a beautiful metaphor, and I wanted to not ever forget how endless we are and how the unimaginable can happen,” Alicia told Architectural Digest.

“That’s what did it for me. I was taken.”

After finally buying the mansion in 2019, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz asked a New York-based interior decorator Kelly Behun with transforming the space into “Dreamland.”

The Mansion has Moroccan wool rugs, velvet and shearling upholstery.
