A pyramid-styled housing complex was built in China’s eastern Jiangsu province. With a spacious balcony on each apartment, residents have found it difficult to cook inside the kitchen, because vent hoods cannot be installed in the flat.

Top floor means Smaller apartments, ground floor means either A LOT of wasted space (or communal facilities) or some apartments don't get their own Balcony since they're inside the central Base of the pyramid.

    When there’s no actual vent hoods, homes/apartments usually have those useless microwave range hoods. Makes the house smokey and sets off alarms when cooking any high-smoke-point food; which is 50% of stir fry -_-“. It’s up to the apartments to install real vent hoods, but it’s expensive.

I live in a house but I'd love to live in an apartment with a short commute to work if that apartment was spacious and sound-proofed. Unfortunately that seems to be a bridge too far for architects and designers and builders right now.

    Pyramid isn't meant for the dead, but as Egypt tradition, only the Royal ones could have such burial. Recent years there is people build some miniature pyramid n they learn that inside the pyramid has effect on preserving things. It seems with the design of it, it somehow affects an unknown field and slowing down time. They tested it with 2 different apple, 1 inside the pyramid and another 1 at outside, results were the ones in pyramid looks & taste fresher than the other.

    I would never live in such a place, but i must recognize the architect's talent. Impressive. edit: i don't like post modern architecture at all, but China is full of similar towers, so it doesn't ruin the urban landscape. To me, only classic architecture is beautiful. But this is practical and responds to the increasing needs of China's housing. For this end, this tower is ingenuously designed. It's not beautiful at all, it's not Art in the sacred sense of the term, but it's impressive to look at.
