New Delhi: Imagine living in a 22-storied building, with two swimming pools, two basements for parking cars and a 100-seater home theatre!
And if that seems a tad less, top it all with a helipad! All of that for a neat sum of Rs 120 crores. Well, that's where the dream ends and reality begins.
While most people can just imagine this, Mukesh Ambani is the man who's going to own it. It's the dream house of the man who owns a $20 billion company.
Located at the Alta Mount Road in Mumbai, the building has more to it than a lavish design. The house can withstand an RDX explosion, and if that's not safe enough, even an earthquake measuring 8 on the Richter scale can't damage it.
"The columns can be designed in such a way that it can stand an earthquake. At the most, there could be minor damage. But that won't make the building collapse," Dr K S Reddy, General Manager of Ashapura Samooh, explains.
The architect behind this dream home is Singapore-based James Young. And his vision will be there for all to see in just about two years time.
