Outline
This project is an addition to an existing house on the site, with a rooftop garden on the second floor level that allows flat access between the two wings, and a garage, living room, and kitchen on the upper and lower floors around an open atrium centered on a zinnia cherry tree. the pillars alone bear the horizontal forces, and when the wooden folding doors are fully opened, the interior and exterior are continuous. all 23 of the 240mm square columns along the roof are through columns that drop down to the garage on the lower floor.
