Michael Shaun Jackson, a 49-year-old in the construction industry, built a $1.35 million technologically advanced home in Dallas, Texas, heavily inspired by the movie "TRON: Legacy." He used a $350,000 win from DraftKings in 2017 to help fund the project. The initial budget for the home was $800,000, but Jackson's use of 3D design programs and continuous brainstorming led to a significant increase in costs.
The 4,120-square-foot home, completed in the fall of 2020, features three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Notable design choices include clean lines, geometric shapes, and extensive LED lighting. The primary bedroom boasts porcelain flooring and mirrored walls, while the living room includes a motorized 75-inch Sony television that retracts into the floor and a serpentine custom couch designed by Jackson.
A white 2021 Ferrari F8 Tributo Spider is a centerpiece of the home, residing in the three-car garage visible through a large living room window. Jackson's home office is also Ferrari-inspired, reflecting his passion for the cars. The kitchen's design draws inspiration from the "Recognizer" aerial security transport spaceship from "TRON: Legacy." Jackson and his wife, Andrea Ganesh Jackson, a 33-year-old software engineer, bought the 1,500-square-foot teardown home in 2018 for $286,000 to begin their ambitious project.
