Let the man have his nest.

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.

Yes, that’s exactly how he did that! He carried rocks in his pockets 🤦‍♀️

All buildings should have a mountain on top! It's awesome! I'm an architect and I approve this message xD

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

This guy needs employment in making sky gardens. He is brilliant

This should be encouraged and supported by the government (improve the structure of buildings) and get nature on the top especially on overpopulated countries

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

That's some Phineas and Ferb action right there. I'd like to see inside of the mansion

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.

"Destroying is easier than building" says who?

This is both Brilliant and Crazy at The same Time lol. 🤔🤓😤😲😭😨

thats was anticlimactic

Imagine falling down a mountain, and then falling off an apartment block 🤣

No one Noticed the mountain mansion for 6 years. Yeah bullshit 😂, you can CLEARLY see it from ground level at 1:10 in the video

its a great idea. keep it green even over a city's hustle and bustle.

how the hell this was built without anyone noticing over the course of 6 years O_o?

Why do you need to put scary sound effects to this video

Seriously? I don't know which one is worse the person who went out the way to build this elaborate thing on the rooftop or the fact that nobody noticed it.

Nice Bit Of Mind Control At The Start Of This Video Cute!

What a genius!Dangerous for the other tenants but still.And seriously, no one saw it?From the other buildings???

might be shoddy work, but a great project otherwise

Good to have so many qualified subject matter experts with speaking parts

...and people wonder why we have building safety codes...

Dude builds all that without the owners permission nor knowledge is beyond me.

I know it’s not good for the building but god bless the man for taking the time in doing this for himself ! Just wow

Clearly, someone is living their dream. I wish l could. Amazing. These are the videos l enjoy watching on youtube.

This would make City life more fun. Love it.

Takes 6 years to build boom has to be taken down. I feel bad for the guy but you shouldn't make something like that on a Skyscraper where other people live too

Rumor says they are still dismantling. Feb 2018.

This is more like Ancient Astronaut theorist say - Yes!

I think it's cool, and I'm guessing those rocks are artificial.

All that extra weight on the roof that the original structural engineers didn't account for, it's a miracle the building didn't collapse.

This is like that one episode of sponge bob where they built the krusty krab on top of a building and then it all collapsed down

This guy should be commissioned to create these wonderful paradises

That’s insane, I would have loved a tour.

How the fuck did no one notice it

something tells me that "no one knew" is a bit exaggerated

How is that possible ??? Nobody knew what happened up there ??? I can’t believe it !!!

this is amazing and that should be the model future architects and engineers will consider.

It actually looked cool, and they just want to make it look dull again, lame!

Is 'Science Channel' really a science channel? Maybe I missed it, but I heard no estimations on the potential load bearing capabilities of the building, nor from engineers with a professional opinion.

What a beautiful green building top! If only he had not put so many giant boulders up there, which drew all the attention.

it is better than most of the tourist attraction I ve ever been.. it should be preserved for tourist and visiters.....

Paul FRENCH?!

Now that's what I call taking real estate to new heights! *ba-dum crash

It is actually a great use of the top floor of that building, just make it smaller and safer then open to the residents

That’s pretty incredible. They should leave it there. It’s like a piece of artwork on top of the building.

Lmaoo homie watched gargoyles and said "hold my beer"

How tf was he supposed to remove that in 2 weeks come on na😭😭

I am absolutely amazed that the building didn't collapse. Buildings like this are not meant to support millions of pounds of rock and earth on the roof. Its a miracle people weren't killed.

This is one of the coolest things ive ever seen. I wanna befriend the guy that did this.

I want something like this but purpose designed from the beginning so the sky scraper is built to handle the load.

That Niki chick is fiiiiiiinnnneeee.

Idk how no one noticed that but god damn I'd love to have a mountain top mansion like that on top of a skyscraper. Seems so serene.

They should let him keep it! What a great mind he has! Love ur work mate

The weight may cause the building to collapse .

why do these videos always start with pictures from satellites

Wow! And to think that initially, they were trying to limit the amount of marble that Candy Spelling was using in HER penthouse (eventually, she prevailed, and the building, still under construction, received extra reinforcements and stabilizers, to compensate for all her marble). But THIS is just unreal!

that would have been a pretty cool addition to the skyscraper, if anyone actually minded the weight and safety of it

He could've just use lightweight artificial rocks and shrubbery just to give a mountainous effect. But instead he used a real mountain lol 😂

I say they should keep the mountain mansion up there as a tourist attraction.

might be one of the most interesting penthouse like mansions to live in for sure if it's not taken down.

They should have just checked it was safe and then left it because it is beautiful. A natural wonder. It could have helped tourism in that area. I am sure people would have been curious to explore.

😂 only in china. but that was amazing

"Sum ting wong!" - yea i said it..

When a Helicopter landing pad is just not enough...

What a great idea for topping off a building. If everyone did it that would really help cities stay cooler and cleaner during the Summer. Roof tops could become public spaces for the live-in tenants of that building: a playground for the kids; a place to have a picnic; a place to sun and swim; the possibilities are endless. The owner of that building should have sold his idea to the city before executing his idea:(

Its lex Luthor's building luxury apartment

Thats a step backwards, having mountaintop villas like that should be a trend all over the world, it would make cities cleaner, more relaxing, probably even safer.

What is wrong with creating a garden on a rooftop? Today, you see them everywhere

It's so heart wrenching

How much money does the owner has? Damn, whoever it is, I'm willing to be their stepchild :))

You got to like this media, no updates, no responses. No completion. Just a bite out of the sandwich.

That's toooooo sick. Pure genius

Why did people remove this!? things like this with a lot of plants should be good for the environment.

Niki can get it.

WHO: Professor Zhang Lin

I would be scared to jump in that pool.

I love it.its beautiful! Maybe the others would be nice to have

Oh okay, so the title question was actually you asking us who built it? Because you don’t seem to know, or aren’t interested in sharing that part of the documentary.. cool thanks, I’ll get back to you on that.

How this goes unnoticed during 6 yrs of construction is beyond truth. Should have stopped long time ago.

I still don't know how he could build this without nobody noticing ! 🤔🤔

This is architecture as its weirdest sense. I guess he didn't consider the after effects of what he's done but it is truly brave he come up with that and be different of what we usually see on penthouses on the rooftop of a bldg.

The Builder is my hero I can't believe he built it and got away with it for so long the city should have just left him keep it there and they should have complimented him and how good it looked and they should just made all the other building owners build nice things like on top of their ugly building roofs too

Mountain or not - Niki is pretty hot.

Without those heavy object added of the top floor, if it was only a simple garden it could be nice for putting back the nature on top that's been taken by the building below

FORGET THE BUILDING THE GIRL 1:58 IS SO STUNNING

They don’t have helicopters in China???

Penthouse mountain owner: You aren’t allowed up here Local drone operator: I’m about to end this man’s whole career

Instead of taking it down use it for vacation spot great views
