I don’t know if i would want to live there. It seems so… excessive, even for mansion standards.
This is so stupid it wraps right back around to being awesome
There’s semblance of symmetry. It may have been forced into being less ugly on pure virtue of construction limitations being on top of a building. Amazing.
it’s probably so heavy and was a bitch to construct so high up. They had to probably crane most of it up there.
Can the building support that much weight on the very top? Seems a little scary to me I guess.
Turns out the project wasn’t finished and the guy skipped town.
Vijay Mallya, the chairman of United Breweries Group, has always been one of India’s most flamboyant tycoons, but in 2010, when he announced plans to have a mansion modelled after the White House built atop a luxury skyscraper in Bangalore, people thought it was too much, even for him. He didn’t let that deter him from building his dream home, and by 2016, his mansion atop Kingfisher Tower in the heart of Bangalore City was taking shape. Unfortunately, by that time his financial woes were the talk of India, and it wasn’t long before he fled the country for the UK, leaving his dream home unfinished.

Does that even have a fence around it? Seems ridiculously dangerous.
I think it does, but it’s just not obvious from the angle. Definitely dangerous, regardless. I hope they don’t get earthquakes there.
