Shown here is a view of the stone and concrete structure that supports the cantilevered glass pavilion. The bottom section holds four bedrooms, bathrooms, and a sitting room. The glass and wood pavilion on top houses a combined living, dining, and kitchen space—all which is surrounded by 15-foot-tall windows.
