Pal had engineered the house so that its tubular tower causes heat to rise and vent of the residence in the summer but capture it in the winter
Pal had to overcome some local opposition to his tallest home plans in the 1990s
In 2010, a 27-story structure inhabited by one of the world's richest families was completed in Mumbai, India.
The $1billion high-rise, which was given the nickname 'Antilia,' measures an astounding 37,000 square feet and stands at 173 meters high.
