60 Storey Tower House for Mukesh Ambani

I’ve seen that image weeks ago, not quite sure where I saw only when I visit archidose did I realize that I am missing the bigger picture, apparently this tower is more than a tower, according to source this 60-storey house is for just one family, well, technically speaking it is because India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani is going to fund this project with his own personal company’s money.

Okay, here are the facts that I gathered:

- 27 floors with an equevilent of 60 storeyed residence at 173.12 meters.
- 6 floors for parking, Mukesh’s family has 168 imported cars.
- Facilities for athletics and a swimming pool, and a health club.
- Helipad at rooftop

It is not really a house, I think most of the top floors will be occupied by the family members, the ground floor definately will be allocated for his business and possibly those above the ground floor will be offices and some residential apartments for his nearly 600 staffers that are expected to work in the building, e.g. security personal.

Mukesh Ambani is 14th in Forbes’ 2007 worldwide rankings with a net worth of US$20.1 billion. The building, already worth £500 million, could start a rush on skyscrapers, which is a very good sign for India, it is about time the rich people in India stop migrating and abandon their country, england is not home! With great powers and wealth comes great responsibility.

    new science tech and studies had almost proved that, the more rich man is happy in his life but for very short more richer man is carrying more tension on his head, the more richer man has many of the diseases.

    i think commen man’s life is better than some famous beings

    A common person gets much more happiness in his own way by spending less money whereas;by investing as much as US$ 20.1billion some people does not even get a half of the happiness they look for.

    He is a great man. he makes every indian proud. His father is my idle. i want to be like his father who was an ordinary man and came to such a higher position and became such a big shot. And make us feel that every man can get what he want if he has will power and courage to do.

    I’m not familiar with the Indian culture but I believe the cultural system is stopping India from progressing, the rich tend to look down on the poor, probably because of the caste system, and when they’re super rich, they’ll migrate back to their hometown - ‘London’

    Building such a big house is a waste of money, he should be helping the poor, probably he is and I’m not aware off.

    Mr. Ambani
    U r hopeless and greedy, just making money form
    poor man’s pocket and doing nothing for them expect constructing such huge buildings jus 4 ur own sake,which is unnecessary wen thousands of India’s even dont get 1 sq. of meal and go starving.

    Mukesh Ambani is not Shahjehan nor is he building a Taj Mahal, if the photo of the house is anything to go by. It is tall, ugly and contorted. Seems Mumbai will soon have the reputation of having the ugliest house on the Globe, thanks to Mukesh and his wife’s ill-conceived design. What a waste of a golden opportunity to showcase Indian Architecture
