This is the extravagant £630m ($1bn) home built by a billionaire Indian tycoon to house his family-of-four in Mumbai.
With 27 storeys, Antilia will be home to Mukesh Ambani and features a health club with a gym and dance studio, a ballroom, at least one swimming pool and a 50-seater cinema.
Towering above the Mumbai skyline, the 37,000sq ft property is 570ft high and also boasts three helipads on its roof, space for 160 vehicles on its lower floors and nine lifts.
He will employ 600 staff at the property and his family will live in the top floors, where they will enjoy views of the Arabian Sea.
Mr Ambani has surprised many by constructing Antilia - named after a mythical island - as he built his business reputation as a private individual who avoided the flamboyance of India's ultra-rich.
The vast building is constructed from glass, steel and tiles and also features a four-storey hanging garden which is designed to keep the interior cooler in summer and warmer in the winter.
According to Forbes magazine, Mr Ambani is worth £18billion. He is the richest man in India and the fourth richest in the world.
The interior of the property, on Altamount Road, has been designed by a U.S. firm and has been described as 'Asian contemporary'.
