I don't 'get' the wine rack with the coloured tiles.

Is it simply a superfluous decorative aplication? If so it doesn't work.

Or is it a screening device against sun or to create beutiful interior light? If so, I want to see inside photos.

Would be interesting to see the wine racks finished in another color. Perhaps white?

CANTILEVER!!! YES! Obviously not built in USA because it would be EXTREMELY difficult to get a Structural Engineer to not only THINK of doing this, but actually doing this & stamping/signing the structural drawings due to litigious actions / potential lawsuits.

Anyway…GREAT DESIGN, love the concrete & wine racks with ceramic infill tiles + the swinging perforated shade devices.

Very Cool!

Finally, an interesting modernist box!
