The Atrium Townhome by Robitaille Curtis has a 32-foot atrium with a skylight running the full width of the house.

Riggers from Cirque du Soleil provided and installed the trapeze net.
Full-height windows provide the living room with lots of natural lighting. A generous fireplace anchors the room.
