The world’s only wooden skyscraper in Russia
August 21st, 2009
In Arkhangelsk, Russia, a man known as Nikolai Sutyagin has built a homemade skyscraper out of his house.
During Perestroyka he inherited some money and with that he started to build his dream home. He hired an architect who planned the first two floors.
From there he spent the next fifteen years building his house upwards. Right now it soars high over the city with thirteen floors. It is the taller structure in the city looking down on even the tallest cement buildings.
Some people in the city love it; others are afraid for their homes and for their skyline.
Either way, this is one interestingly ambitious project.
