The style and design of the mansion, named The Orchid House, was inspired by another one of Brosnan's Bond films, "Tomorrow Never Dies," Taylor writes.

The time Brosnan spent in Thailand filming the movie led to the vision behind the property designed by noted architects Ralph and Ross Anderson, according to the Journal.
