The cantilevered void house


[Image: What is it? Who knows. Though, as Mervyn Peake describes the buildings of Gormenghast: "Standing immobile throughout the day, these vivid objects, with their fantastic shadows on the wall behind them shifting and elongating hour by hour with the sun's rotation, exuded a kind of darkness for all their color." Cantilevered structures self-supported over the void. Via Archinect].
