Look at the state of this kip. Ok fair enough it has "parking for 168 cars, a movie theatre for an audience of 65, living quarters on four floors and three helipads" but look at the state of it :eek: It will be completed this year for Indian Billionaire Mukesh Ambani and is called Antilia

DarkJager · 07-10-2009 2:15pm

No space to hide for a **** anyway.

flanzer · 07-10-2009 2:16pm

Looks like a lego tower I built when I was 3

Mr.David · 07-10-2009 2:16pm

You can tell the architect grew up playing TETRIS on gameboy!:)

That's cool, it would be like living in the Mushroom kingdom.

You'd need to be taking some serious mushrooms to live there in the first place!

You also don't seem to think John O'Donoghue has done anything wrong:rolleyes: So forgive me for not taking your opinion seriously today;)

It is horrific looking.

JP Liz · 07-10-2009 2:24pm

WTF is that

Wazdakka · 07-10-2009 2:26pm

That looks Cool..

Squiggle · 07-10-2009 2:26pm

Is it for housing pigeons. :pac:

How could anyone live in this massive Jenga building? For less than 10% of the price Aaron Spelling owns this beast of a home:

Turd Ferguson · 07-10-2009 2:44pm

Aesthetic beauty and view of political matters are so linked. Not everybody believed the emperor had new clothes

He's the 7th wealthiest person in the world, 19.5bn US Dollars. He's a trillionaire in India

Run_to_da_hills · 07-10-2009 2:51pm

It looks remarkibly like that development in Kilternan that will cost us the tax payer in excess of e200 million. :eek:

dubmick · 07-10-2009 3:16pm

is there an article to go with the pic?

themacdaddy · 07-10-2009 3:16pm

RandolphEsq · 07-10-2009 3:37pm

Is the picture not just a cross section of the house?

Neamhshuntasach · 07-10-2009 3:40pm

Couldn't give a fúck what it looks like. I wouldn't live in India.

Sold! Please send what's left of your testicle to India in a self addressed envelope and we'll post you back the house.

Overheal · 07-10-2009 3:45pm

ill hold judgement till i see something that isnt concept art.

smk89 · 07-10-2009 3:53pm

Damn thats fugly!!!

Whats wrong with a 2 up 2 down anyways

Rented Mule · 07-10-2009 4:04pm

It's the Tower of Babu-lon

bluto63 · 07-10-2009 4:06pm

Well sustainability is quite an important factor in architecture, and for the price, someone said 17million? That's fairly cheap for a skyscraper and it's very environmentally conscious. Maybe when the plants grow longer and begin wrapping around the building, it might look better

He must have been crap at it.

Elliemental · 07-10-2009 6:38pm

I don`t know about ugly, but its` certainly "interesting" architechture.

07-10-2009 6:44pm

very cool house.. i suppose the only way to get multiple "outside" levels is to build like this. can't imagine it would ever be homely tho..

Namlub · 07-10-2009 6:45pm

It's nice, it's different, it's unusual...

Yeah, it would be great to live in a house like that, if you weren't dead like Aaron is.

TheZohanS · 07-10-2009 6:50pm

Imagine the monthly gas and electricity bill for it....

MrMatisse · 07-10-2009 7:00pm

Wouldnt like to be up there cutting the grass on a windy day!

07-10-2009 7:46pm

Did he design it when he was 7?

AlmightyCushion · 07-10-2009 7:57pm

If you're spending $2B on a house it would want to come with a small planet or a few moons or something.

Irish Trinity · 07-10-2009 7:59pm

should spend at least another billion on some fashion sense

RMD · 07-10-2009 8:24pm

All yous and your traditional mega house. I'd eat my dog to live in that, how many houses have a garden halway up the building. Don't want to take the stairs? Fly from one of the lower helipads to the upper ones.

You lads need to sort out your priorities.

Niall Keane · 07-10-2009 10:16pm

certainly beats a 90's Irish Muck Mansion! What! no pitched roof, no fluted columns and porch, no eagles guarding the driveway???? No en-suite for the utility room???

How much closer do you think he could get?

marko91 · 07-10-2009 10:53pm

its cool

i dont think anyone would say no to living in it for free....

randylonghorn · 08-10-2009 1:49am

Ker-ist, that's fugly!!

It may be environmentally sustainable in the technical sense, but surely concern for the environment should still extend to aesthetics?

Doc · 08-10-2009 2:20am

Are you sure that its just one house it looks like a block of apartments?

lorebringer · 08-10-2009 7:58am

Jenga anyone?
