The original plan limited the number of apartments to 87 units per block, with each tenant being promised good natural lighting. However, the client's request later changed to 100 units per block. To avoid occupying more land, 13 additional units were hung from the facade north of the main structure.

Built in the mid-13th century, the Astra Tower is a church in Hamburg, Germany. Its 27.43-meter(90-feet)-high spire made from oak, was added to the structure in 1450. Since then, the spire began to tilt because of the oak material and their wet foundations.

Takasugi-an literally translates as "a teahouse [built] too high." Located in Nagano, Japan, the teahouse was built atop two chestnut trees, cut from a nearby mountain and transported to the site.
