The world’s only officially-licensed Star Trek building, designed after the USS Enterprise, is boldly going where no other piece of architecture has gone before. Commissioned by NetDragon Websoft, a China-based gaming and mobile Internet company, this building probably makes going to work the highlight of several people’s day. The building sprang from the mind of NetDragon Websoft’s Chairman Liu Dejian, a reported Star Trek aficionado. After licensing the rights from CBS to construct the building, it took six years (2008-2014) and $160 million to make.
Congratulations! You made many a geeks dream come true!
