Richest man in India builds a 27 story, 1 billion dollar house

[AoE]

Priya Rai was ok until I started watching other shit. Then I noticed she mostly just lays there and makes lots of fucking noise like a typical asian. I wouldn't say no if offered though.

[Meian]

The large W made me think of this as Dr. Wily's next lair. Just mount a giant skull and random useless things coming out from the sides of the building.

[notorious bum]

Looks like a burglar's playground, hope to see it get robbed in 27-different ways.

[Byrthnoth]

tbqh, it looks pretty fail. I can't imagine feeling like you need that large of a house, or wanting to spend more than half a billion dollars building a house in Mumbai of all places. Shit, if I was building a >500mil house with a helicopter pad, it'd be on the top of the most sinister looking mountain in India (which I would flatten so I could build my house there) and the only way to access it would be by helicopter or a very long windy road with unnecessary hairpin turns. Fuck people!

[AoE]

Where's wop? I want a rich person's opinion.

[Jaybar]

Don't have to be an architect to point out that this shit looks like he bought several building and placed them on top of each other, I dunno if maybe this type of structure is common or acceptable for that region but by my standards it looks ridiculous. But I guess when you spend almost a billion dollars on 1 building looks really don't matter, cause it cost more than most houses in most cities.

lol

It was built to withstand military-grade explosions and an magnitude-8 earthquake

Maybe thats why it's ugly as sin.

[Lucki]

While the home cost about $77 million to build, Mumbai's growing property prices means Antilia is now estimated to be worth 15 times more - about $1 billion.

Roof

The top floor features a covered, outdoor entertaining space with panoramic views of the Mumbai skyline as well as the Arabian Sea. On those days when it's too hot, or cold, an interior space with floor-to-ceiling windows provides the same luxury.

Lobby
http://images.forbes.com/media/2008/04/30/exphome_2.jpg
Nine elevators dot the lobby floor: Two are designated for parking areas, three for guest quarters, two for the Ambani family residences and two for service. The lobby opens to numerous lounges, reception areas and powder rooms. Dual stairways lead from the lobby floor down to the ballroom, which is designed in an open layout with a two-story roof.

Ballroom

The most striking features of the Antilla ballroom are the crystal chandeliers that will take up approximately 80% of the ceiling. The silver stairways lead to a central landing, behind which two retractable doors can open to display works of art. There is also a stage for entertainment or speeches, with a projection screen behind it. A kitchen, about the same size as the ballroom itself, can service hundreds of guests.

Lounge

Ambani's home features countless lounges, offering Reliance Industries guests a quiet escape. Chandeliers and mirrors are a common feature of these rooms, as are finely woven Indian area rugs.

The first six floors of the residence will be dedicated to parking for the Ambani family, guests and employees. Hanging vertical gardens dot the exterior. While they make for good decoration, their key function has to do with energy efficiency: The hydroponic plants, grown in liquid nutrient solutions instead of soil, lower the energy footprint of the home by absorbing heat and sunlight and providing shade that helps keep it cool.

And the breakdown of where each is.

Trust me, Priya Rai is as hot as they come, but literally, thats all she really does. Its really annoying actually.

East Indians can't fuck.

Fuck a Trini or Guyanese girl, they're 8,000 times better.

[Flarega]

So much of it is environment, it just does not fit in with its surroundings. No I'm not an architect either.

[Senoska]

I like it.
