The Icarus of housing.

Very nice!
If I can remember it, I will steal it and use it!!!

Because the taller you go, the more interior space is used by building services, elevators, HVAC ducts, stairs...

IMO after a certain point, it is just for bragging rights.
Icarus and his father could use it for a take off-platform.

No problems with a proper glide ratio and make good on their escape from NYC.

Could also make for a spectacular suicide/murder jump down if you someone chisel your way out a window.

Now that I think of it I wonder whether suicide rates are higher for those who live in moderate highrises, particularly with balconies.
