Gangsta house

One-time Russian gangster Nikolai Sutyagin’s home is certainly unusual. The eccentric former convict’s seemingly accidental 15-year project begun in 1992 stands 13 floors, 144 feet high. He claims he was only intending to build a two-story house - larger than those of his neighbours to reflect his position as the city’s richest man. He built what is believed to be the world�s tallest wooden house. It is nothing less than �the eighth wonder of the world�.
The house dominates the skyline of Arkhangelsk, a city in Russia�s far north-west soaring 13 floors to reach 144 ft. It�s about half the size of tower of Big Ben
From a distance it bears a resemblance to a Japanese pagoda but as you draw closer it seems more like a mix between a Brobdignagian tree house and the lair of a wicked fairytale character.
