Some architects go above and beyond to take condominium living to the next level. Due to their unprecedented amenities and their architecturally genius and out-of-the-box designs, these condos are more than just homes, they're tourist attractions in their own right. Here are the top five coolest condos in the world.

1. The Bandra Ohm

Location: Mumbai
Architect: James Law of James Law Cybertecture

If you have a Porsche and you have difficulty parting ways with it, then you probably belong in this condo designed by Porsche Design Group. The Porsche Tower will take your car places it's never gone before – inside your condo unit. Each unit comes with an elevator for your car, so that, as Juergen Gessler, CEO of Porsche Design Group stated, "You don’t have to leave your car until you are inside your apartment." Must be nice!

8. 360 Rotating Tower

Location: Dubai
Architect: Dynamic Architecture

Say hello to the condominium version of Toronto's CN Tower. Doing a full 360-degree rotation every 90 minutes, the rotating tower will provide residents with beautiful panoramic views of Dubai. The 80-storey building will also contain wind turbines that generate electricity, and similar to the Porsche Tower, it will also allow residents to take their vehicle straight to their unit. The tower was scheduled for completion in 2010, but was pushed to an unspecified date. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the 360 Rotating Tower actually becomes a reality.
