I'd only seen it in the distance from a bus on the highway and thought it looked cool. Seeing it from all the angles makes it absolutely mindblowing

Singapore has some super crazy architecture.
Stacked Shipping Container Homes.
It looks cool, but imagine if you had to evacuate from one of the upper buildings in an emergency. Probably aren't any central stairwells going all the way down. Have to buy a parachute and learn to base jump.
Actually it looks exactly like there's a central stairwell going all the way down, on each end. Notice the square structure on each roof. Appears to contain the doors and elevators for getting up there and it's over the top of the building intersections all the way to the ground.
Aww. I was about to move there so I could base jump into that pool.
Don't let that discourage you... go for it!!
Are you blind? Like did you even try? There are several very clear centralized points where you have a central stairwell. I counted 6 in my drunken state ffs.
