More details on Mumbai's new 24 Story Tower from the architects themselves.....
Perkins + Will designed Antilia, a 24-story corporate meeting facility and private residence, now under construction in Mumbai (top). The tower features several garden levels and a trellis, which supports panels of hydroponically grown plans, that act like a green band weaving in and out of the building to demarcate different program elements (middle). A large garden occupying a floor near the tower’s mid-section will separate the corporate meeting facility and parking levels from residential space above. (above).

So it's actually a conference center/house combination, which IIRC is not unlike Bill Gates' house by Bohlin Cywinsky Jacksno - it's both his home and a retreat center for Microsoft. Given that this one is in a skyscraper footprint, it actually makes a quite a bit of sense.
LB, you been studying up on your floor-area-ratios?
