Sustainable Residence in Los Angeles with Original Architecture Details
Hover House 2 was designed by Glen Irani architects and is located in Los Angeles, USA. The residence has a unique architecture, serving both an aesthetic purpose and a functional one.

The blanketing roof is shaped to conduct softly gradient, reflected clerestory light while seemingly floating gently and protectively over the interior spaces“.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but it's not really working for me.
