[Idea] could settling a Gas Giant planet work?

Like, the vague idea that sprung to mind is making some manner of aerostat base in the upper atmosphere, presumably using some combination of mechanics for space platforms and Aquilo's iceberg building.
Offhand I don't actually know what useful materials would prompt building there, but I have no doubt reasons could be found.

Wow, great idea!

Likely Hydrogen, Helium, and a few other gases.

To be clear, I have no idea how to go about doing this, mechanically. I just wanted to put the idea out there in case it otherwise never occurred to people here who would know.
