American tennis ace Serena Williams has been working with elder sister Venus's design firm to build her dream home in Miami. Williams's new house is minutes away from her sister and their parents.

According to the Architectural Digest magazine, it took the 23-time Grand Slam champion three years to renovate and decorate her home.

In a short video on the magazine's Instagram account, Serena says: "Welcome to my home. I've been designing this house for a really long time. I actually worked with my sister Venus-she has an interior design company called V Starr Interiors. Most homes have formal living rooms, so I was like ‘What if I had a formal living room, but instead of it being a living room, I call it an art gallery?' So, this is our art gallery, it starts from the front door. Our media room, our bar, and our club room are all in one. I wanted something that was super functional."
