Burj Al Arab in Dubai. I watched an interesting documentary about its construction.

See that round thing towards the top? That's a tennis court.

I think Dubai is going to be in 95% of the posts here.
That hotel is also called the Wave right? I heard on the radio today that it bills itself as a "7-star" hotel, although they have 4-star rooms for those who aren't Bill Gates
they must go through a lot of balls at that tennis court
It's called Burj Al Arab.Quote:

I would settle for a tree shack from the designer of that house.
The entire city of Dubai is a publicity stunt.Quote:

Actually if you look toward the back of the photo you can see a safety/maintenance ledge. You're totally safe unless you just throw yourself off.Quote:

Also I don't see how it's possible to score a point and not have the ball fall off the platform.
So I take it you designed all these houses. Or designed a number of buildings. Given that architecture is your absolute calling.Quote:
