Interesting (name and building) but to me this mix of styles looks a bit cheap.

9, Because its not your typical skyscraper it may look lika a casino but I wouldnt mind living there, the design is just amazing. Its like a castle in the sky and the only city(other then Vegas) with enough balls to do something like that is Moscow. But I do agree with some of you folks about how it may look too "fairy tale". This thing wouldnt look good in just any other city.

This may not be the best shot to show off the building itself, but it surely shows that this building is a huge step in the right direction for Moscow... when you compare it with the surrounding commieblocks. So, I do like it.

The castle look doesn't really suit the building...
In Toronto the castle would perhaps not suit the building, but IMO in Moscow it does.

Omg, How cheep can your building look like?

In Gstaad, Switserland they know how to do it:

Palace Hotel, Gstaad. Maybe the most beautiful building in the Alps.
