Mukesh Ambani, head of petrochemical giant Reliance Industries, has commissioned architecture firms Perkins & Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates to build a 27-story mansion that include helipads, parking lots, guest apartments, a cinema, a ballroom, numerous powder rooms, gardens, a gym, and of course the Ambani residence in downtown Mumbai.
Nearly costing $2 billion dollars, the Ambani residence, called an Antilla, is based on the Indian tradition of Vaastu, a tradition much like Feng Shui. At the request of Ambani's wife, no two floors are alike in either plans or materials. Designers had to work with different materials and plan for consistency without repetition.
The Ambanis currently reside in their 22-story Mumbai tower and will be moving into their custom home as soon as it is finished in January.
