Any apartment building that size should have a couple floors of retail, especially food - they would make a fortune. If I lived there I would illegally sell teriyaki or something out of my apartment. Better still, run it like a street drug business - pay cooks and delivery people, and have distributors in between - they alone know where the kitchens are. Eventually it’s the chicken fingers episode of Community.
Costco recently opened a location in California that is also a high rise apartment building
Imagine, rotisserie chicken every day
Are you trying to make me hate my life? Man…
Apparently it does have amenities like shops, foodcourt, barber, and other stuff.
Until you realize that every other neighbor does the same, there’s a price war going on, the sole supplier of a key ingredient leverages their monopoly, and the good cooks are bribing the delivery people to cut you out of the loop.
That’s when you call Mr. Wolf.
Homo homini lupus.
We’ve heard about car brain, this is its cousin, detached house brain.
Tall, wide, building, scary!! OoooOoOooOoOoh
If you think about it elevators are just vertical trains
passes blunt
I mean it’s absolutely nuts how many people this building holds. I’m guessing that the majority of towns across the majority of the US land area have populations smaller than this one building. Probably likewise throughout most of Europe. The population density of this building is crazy. 115/km^2 (apparently the building is 260km^2)
Your math is wrong. 260km^2 would mean 10 miles long and 10 miles wide.
Unless you count floor space, but that’s not how population density is measured.And even then, 115/km^2 means every person would have 2 football fields of space.
A bit defensive there…. It’s quite literally a harmless meme
Also, how does this have anything to do with house brain? Most hotels and apartment buildings don’t even come close to the sizes of some of these massive ones in China.
Such buildings allow for great efficiency (it probably has its own stop on some kind of rail transit and still a reasonable cost of living) and that includes pizza delivery. Imagine delivering multiple orders a minute. The salary (and tips, even outside the US) would be great. They will probably even allow you to call the elevator with an app before you walk to it for extra speed.
I’m not an expert Chinologist, and it’s a huge country, so it might vary, but AFAIK tipping isn’t really a thing in China.
Actually occupancy is likely somewhere between 10-20k

That’s bigger than my entire village 😳
Poor delivery guy 📦 😰😂
These types of apartments interest me a lot, they become cities in one of themselves, a livable Kowloon
Malls, gyms, restaurants all in the apartment because of how high the density is
Yeah that’s a leave it in the lobby and lot god sort it out kind of delivery
Everyone eats pizza, Everyone is lactose intolerant, Everyone flushes
Most of them with no window.
That’s way more than the population of the whole town I live in.
There’s a good chance that apartment building has easy to find organized unit numbers that pizza delivery guy can understand. Building may even have multiple front entrances each with distinct addresses.
Once saw a (German) documentary about this building. They have drop-off places on the ground floor where delivery drivers leave their goods in locked boxes. Payment and and locking/unlocking of the box is done digitally through phone.
P.S.: This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgVXPEORuA0
The luxury floors should have automated dumbwaiters, so there’s a little rectangle in the wall that’s basically a primitive replicator. Trash leaves through the same chute.
Mmm. I love me some trash soup on my pizza boxes. Brings out the familiar aroma
Yeah, I’ve delivered pizza in a city of over 100k people. The whole idea of an address is to figure out where the destination is down to the personal residence. Doesn’t matter if the people are spread out in a single building or many buildings.
I didn’t go knocking on every door any time someone ordered pizza to an apartment. Biggest concern about apartments were if they had a buzzer, if that buzzer worked, and if the code matched the unit number or would be easy to figure out based on the information provided. And if it wasn’t, their phone number was part of the information provided.
You are all absolutely smothering the joke, lol
This wouldn’t be necessary if everyone used the proper peer review process before publishing their jokes!!
The type of reply I was hoping for 😄 good stuff bud ❤️
Why do such monolithic buildings give me such hell-on-earth vibes?
Arcolgies can be a cool idea though if done right. Granted it hasn’t been done given the amount of resources, planning, logistics, etc required. Still, cool idea.
i too played simcity
Should look up this place called Arcosanti. An interesting ongoing project, decades in the making.
How neat is that!?
That’s pretty neat!
Probably not that man for the food deliverer. High density implies having more than 1 order and there are likely many entrances and building numbers.
Right? I’m mass texting my deliveries “hey I’m out front with about 12 other orders. If you need it delivered to your door here it’ll be a few extra minutes. I’ll head into the building to complete any remaining deliveries at [time]”
This might be better than most apartments I’ve lived in tbh, so it might work if looking out of the window and having the inescapable trap of modern life hit you in the face isn’t a deal breaker for you
For a moment I thought the washing machine was outside on the balcony in picture 6!
| Total Buildings | 2 | | --------------- | ----- | | Total units | 1540 | | Total partings | 2046 |
I saw the same thing. That’s almost 20 people per unit.
Is that a refrigerator in the living room, and a tv over the stove?
It’s called an open floor plan.
