Fancy House
Fancy House was inspired by the story of Indian Billionaire, Mukesh Ambani, who built a non-traditional high-rise home in the heart of Mumbai. Often times we associate structures like mansions, castles, and countryside estates with millionaires and billionaires. But it’s not every day we read about a billionaire building a custom 27-story high-rise in the middle of a central business district. The 560 foot tall residence, which is a marvel of design, is located in southern Mumbai and is nicknamed the Antilia.
Fancy House is a series of high-rise sketches by Stevan Pirkovic which were inspired by the idea of an entire building being dedicated to a single residence. Sketched with pen and paper, this series explores various sizes and shapes of a hypothetical high-rise residence. Below are a few articles about the Antilia written around the time it was built.
