When you’re expecting thousands of your closest friends to come over for a party, finding the space might be challenging. Unless you’re the Sultan of Brunei.
His extravagant palace—Istana Nurul Iman (“Light of Faith Palace“)—houses 1,788 rooms, 257 bathrooms, a mosque with a 1,500-person capacity, and of course, a banquet hall equipped for 5,000 people. The royal garage is downright massive with spaces for all the world’s most expensive cars, while the air-conditioned stable can hold over 200 horses.
Sitting at over 2 million square feet, Istana Nurul Iman is the world’s largest private residence—and a jaw-dropping feat of architecture designed by Leandro V. Locsin.
