If a building was over 10,000 feet wouldn't it become snowcapped and require oxygen at the top?

[@chriswatson7965]

It's the air pressure that's the issue. Even if the building was sealed from the outside the pressure at the bottom would be significantly greater than the top. So the building would have to have multiple layers of isolated atmospheres, each kept at a suitable pressure. Elevators would have to be air tight also, as the elevator shafts would necessarily have variable pressure. I can't see how snow is an issue.

[@Jargoed]

And then you have the tokyo tower of babbel at 10,000 metres. Pretty much a tenth of the way to space.

[@JakeKoenig]

Humans don't need supplemental oxygen until at least 15,000 ft (I've climbed Denali without oxygen and it's over 20,000 ft). So unless that 10,000 ft building was built at an elevation higher than 5,000 ft, then nobody would need oxygen. The snowcapped part would also depend on where it's built, but most 10,000 ft mountains have snow on the peak in winter.
