But walk around a little bit and the building's name starts to become apparent. The house is perched on a hillside, from which it cantilevers more than half of its length. The living room is situated at the far end, and a glass floor reminds guests just what is happening.
The project balances the conventional (gable form) and the daring (cantilever), two opposites of sorts that are treated with the metal skin on all sides.
