With bespoke doorhandles, crystal chandeliers and marble floors at every turn, the Antilla represents the largest ever interior design project for a private home. With three helipads, a six floor carpark, ballroom, cinema and pretty much every other conceivable amenity, Antilla is one of the most luxurious and extensive homes ever built.
