Bet you couldn't find a plastic basin in a sink there though.

Thrill

Pfft, I pay that in rent every week for my plush pad.

westendgirlie

The outside of it looks like a high rise shanty town.

Doom

Ya think he'd sort out some of the awful poverty in Mumbai first....

Stinicker

look at the state of it, still no class or taste.

ejmaztec

They wuz robbed.

claddy

Looks like a game of Tetris.

The builder must be laughing his feckin head off.

mikemac1

Looks a slum on a hill in Rio

EuropeanSon

No recession in that house... :P

Dr Turk Turkelton

Eh if the recession hadn't hit here in 2007 I would imagine a semi-d in Tyrellstown would cost that much now!

Pottler

it looks like they made it up as they went along-it looks like a game of Jenga rode a Travelodge and the kid ended up as a jengalodge.

Casillas

They can still only use one room at a time though..

BUBBLE WRAP

Nice gaf OP.

Greentopia

Vulgar and ugly, not to mention completely inappropriate in a city with such horrendous levels of poverty.

Battered Mars Bar

Whatever about the look of it, it's probably quite a good design for the region. Google dubai and look at all the glass skyscrapers...in a desert?!...greenhouses in one of the hottest regions on earth, ridiculous. This house is ok for the environment imo

I won't make a habit of it.

How much did you pay for the house?

I could have got you a much better one for half that.

Ronin247

27 floors,needs a staff of 600 and has an electricity bill of over a million euros a year in a city where millions live so far below what we would call poverty here.....what a fooking knob,obviously trying to compensate for the lack of one.

a 6 month old on lego could do a more aesthetically appealing design... and its useless anyway as the idiot developer did not abide to Muslim/Hindu/whatever rules and no one can actually live in it.

nice.

Mr Benevolent

One billion dollars doesn't get much in India these days. Apparently.

HavingCrack

In fairness to the Ambani's their father rose from a life of extreme poverty, squalor and misery to wealth via his boot straps. They grew up in a two bedroom apartment with 4 siblings.

The Ambani's are also well known as philanthropist's to be fair to them, they just don't seek publicity for it.

plasmaguy

It looks awful from outside.

If it was built in North Korea, the architect would have been shot by now.

At least he is giving employment to 600 people, but the electricity bills arent't exactly cheap.

I've seen it being built and the finished product.. it is awful.
A real display of the old saying.. Money does not buy class.

It looks like a Ballymun Flat complex from the 80's

Lapin

Might as well hang a sign over the front door saying

"Kidnap the occupant".

IM0

who turned the time machine on again :rolleyes:

true

and to think that we Irish borrow to send 600 million of official Irish government aid every year to countries like that...I'm not sure if our government gives aid money to India but a year or 2 ago it gave aid to its neighbour ( and nuclear power ) Pakistan.

A place that big can not be a home .It's too large for the normal feel of homeliness .

cassi

Having been to Mumbai, not even if the house was given to me would I live there!

so because there's a rich guy from that country, nobody should give them aid?

Yep, I'm happy to go along with that.

Well, maybe not that nobody should give them aid.

But fecked if we should when there are people there spending $1 billion on houses while the banks are throwing people out of houses in Ireland because they can't afford the mortgages they were sold.

Every country needing aid has a few insanely wealthy people at the top..

clappyhappy

I bet within a year or two he will turn it into a hotel to compare to the burj in Dubai or the Palace in Abu Dhabi.

up for anything

A house like that in a city like that. It doesn't give the majority something to aspire to, it gives them something to tear down.

kowloon

I'd like to think I'd do something more noble with that kind of money, but maybe I would be corrupted by it. I still don't think I'd be comfortable with owning slaves though.

Ghandee

Proof if ever proof were needed that money can't but you style.

Nothing even remotely 'homely' about it.

Cheaper on the long run to move into a hotel if you want to live in a house that resembles one.

Indians be crazy.
