New Delhi: RIL Chairman and India’s richest person, Mukesh Ambani’s 27-storey skyscraper ‘Antilla’ in Mumbai, seems to have failed the ‘vastu’ test.
A newspaper reported on Wednesday that Ambani is delaying shifting into this much hyped, world's largest and costliest home owing to vastu concerns.
Antilla, with a price-tag nearing two billion dollar does not comply to the vastu rules, the directional alignments that are supposed to create spiritual harmony, the newspaper said.
"The only remotely comparable high-rise property currently on the market is the 70 million dollar triplex penthouse at the Pierre Hotel in New York, designed to resemble a French chateau, and climbing 525 feet in the air," Forbes had said in its report titled, "Inside The World's First Billion-Dollar Home."
"Like many families with the means to do so, the Ambanis wanted to build a custom home. They consulted with architecture firms Perkins + Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the designers behind the Mandarin Oriental, based in Dallas and Los Angeles, respectively," the report said. "Plans were then drawn up for what will be the world's largest and most expensive home: a 27-story skyscraper in downtown Mumbai with a cost nearing 2 billion dollars."
While a hotel or condominium has a common layout, replicated on every floor, and uses the same materials throughout the building, the Ambanis' home has no two alike in either plans or materials used, it said.
