Yes, that’s exactly how he did that! He carried rocks in his pockets 🤦♀️
-
If it were more structurally sound and wouldn't collapse the rest of the building, it would be more architecturally important. But still it is interesting. It's amazing they tried this and got so much up there, all to be torn down though.
-
All buildings should have a mountain on top! It's awesome! I'm an architect and I approve this message xD
-
Let the man have his nest.
-
So no one in the neighbouring buildings noticed... seems legit
-
It actually no bad idea though as long as you don't endanger the structure or building safety, it looks like sky garden Mesopotamia and it makes the building looks more green and nice to look. Perhaps they should planed it from the start, calculated everything, not adding it after the building built so it wouldn't damaged other people properties.

"Secret" Mountaintop, literally everyone notices.
-
That actually looks pretty amazing, especially if that was a public garden, if he had planning permission and made it for public use it would actually be a nice concept for a design, especially in a dense area like Beijing. The mountain side is kinda like a retreat for people either in the area or for the resident on the tower block. It could maybe be implied into other designs. Having a mountain terrace feature is certainly better than just a flat roof. The issue was because the owner wanted it all to himself without even a planning permission. If he did it properly and have a decent proposal it would of have been a nice concept and avoided some errors like cracks and the heavy load coming from the roof

The narrator sounds like he should be working for "America's Most Wanted".
-
Why is the music so intense lol
-
No one Noticed the mountain mansion for 6 years. Yeah bullshit 😂, you can CLEARLY see it from ground level at 1:10 in the vide
-
This should be encouraged and supported by the government (improve the structure of buildings) and get nature on the top especially on overpopulated countries
-
Y'all hate the beautiful mountain retreat? Come on now that's some beautiful goodness
-
Soooo... Watched the video. They did not answer the WHO portion of the title question.
-
This is both Brilliant and Crazy at The same Time lol. 🤔🤓😤😲😭😨
-
This guy needs employment in making sky gardens. He is brilliant
-
So much bullshit. "We don't notice a mountain on a skyscraper, no one noticed for so long". How could you miss that facade being quite visible from the ground level, in addition to being able to look out your window in one of the higher floors, or down the street? Seriously, it is like they expect their viewers to be mentally handicapped.

I am from Beijing and I miss this funny mansion
-
“I want to know how he did it” he’s rich AF
-
its a great idea. keep it green even over a city's hustle and bustle.
