Pretty swish and very designer looking but I shudder to think of the carbon footprint of that place with hundreds of cubic metres of concrete involved ( concrete as we all know has the highest carbon footprint of all common building materials ). /rant over Stewie From memory, it was built that way to be completely fireproof.
