A PEAK INTO 'ANTILIA'!



Antilia’- the 27 storey, 570 feet high, megalomaniac structure a family calls its home! The home boasts of a private theater, 9 elevators, 3 helipads, 6 levels of parking, an 'ice room' and a full time staff of 600 people!
This 'home' belongs to the chairman of Reliance Industries, Mr Mukesh Ambani and gets its name from the mystical legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean.
The house has naturally been the center of not only a lot of controversies and attention but has also gained a lot of negative publicity from the media.
...Right from being alleged of being built on the land belonging to an orphanage to black money transactions and corruption to helipads violating noise laws to complaints about illegal cark parking...Antilia has seen it all!
The city of Mumbai, which shelters the continent's biggest slum, is now known to house this megalomaniac structure too... (which looks amazingly ugly on the outside.) If you're wondering how huge this house measures – 4,00,000 square feet!
The house has been termed as a perfect example of the rich-man's lack of empathy for the poor.
However, one can be rest assured that on the inside, building known as the most expensive house in the world is nothing short of magnanimous and beautiful... The plush interiors boast of high quality of construction, and no two rooms in the house look the same... But the Ambanis haven risen far above all this.. 570 feet above to be precise!
Morally, we must not comment .. to each his own!
...Of course, we all must over look the fact that a couple of months ago, just after the completion of the house, the Ambanis were downright terrified of setting foot in there because it did not follow 'Vastu Shastra' rules – something so important to them which they had somehow overlooked while the house was being built! Now that all is hunky dory, lets take a sneak peak into the 4,00,000 square feet home, which can also resist an 8 richter scale earthquake, and houses a family of 6 and 600 staff members!
27 FLOORS: According to the plan, the house will rise to a height of 173.12 meters,
equivalent to that of a regular 60 -storeyed residential building . However, Antilia will
have only 27 storeys in all.


SIX FLOORS FOR PARKING: The first six floors have been reserved for parking alone,
and that too for cars belonging only to Mukesh's family. Space for a total of 168 imported
cars has been earmarked here.


ENTERTAINMENT FLOOR: The eighth floor has an entertainment center comprising a
mini-theater.


BALCONIES WITH GARDENS: The rooftop of the mini-theater serves as a garden, and
immediately above that, three more balconies with terrace gardens.


THE HEALTH FLOORS: While the ninth floor has a 'refuge' floor - meant to be used for
rescue in emergencies - two floors above that have been set aside for health. It has facilities
for athletics and a swimming pool, while the other has a health club.


FOR GUESTS: There are two-storeyed glass-fronted apartments for the Ambani family's
guests above the health floors.


FAMILY: The four floors at the top, which provide a view of the Arabian Sea and a superb
view of the city's skyline, are designed for Mukesh, his wife Neeta, their three kids and
Mukesh's  mother Kokilaben.


AIR SPACE FLOOR: Two floors above the family's residence have been set aside
as maintenance areas, and on top of that, there is an 'air space floor,' which acts as
a control room for helicopters landing on the helipad above. There are three helipads there.


STAFF: Nearly 600 full time staffers work in the building.

COST: This house came with a Price Tag of Rs.4000 crore for 6 people and 600 staff
