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.

Before: The home contained massive windows facing the ocean and a concrete rooftop before the renovations began

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.  

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

Under construction: 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.

Exposed: The rooftop was removed, showing off the concrete interior 

Blocked: 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. 

New home owner: West purchased the home last year for $57.3 million

Mystery plans: It’s unclear what West plans on doing with his new space

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.

The residence was the first home property purchase for Kanye amid his impending divorce from Kim Kardashian.  

Kim recently begged a judge to declare her single and revealed she had been suffering from ’emotional distress’ as a result of Kanye’s social media antics.

In new documents obtained by TMZ, Kim stated, ‘I very much desire to be divorced.’

She told a judge she had requested Kanye keep their separation private ‘but he has not done so’.

Security: The signs were placed on many of the entry ways leading to the property 

Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress,’ she says in the new documents.

Indeed, the drama between Kim and Kanye has been playing out publicly on social media in recent days, where the rapper has been posting screenshots of text messages sent to him from his ex and gone to war with her new boyfriend Pete Davidson.

He previously said Kim was putting their daughter North West on TikTok ‘against his will’, accused her of ‘kidnapping’ their eight-year-old, and claimed she had accused him of ‘putting a hit out on her’.

Kanye has also asked to keep Kim from transferring assets out of any trust – a request Kim has fired back at due to their existing prenup, which already keeps their trusts and assets separate.

In order to continue running her businesses, Kim needs to access her trust.

Kanye’s lawyers have also recognized the validity of the prenup in the documents.

Kim also said Kanye’s attorneys have admitted to struggling to get through to him.
