A
marvel of international high-technology.
• An elaborate lightning safety system protects the home from damage.
• The roof is stainless steel and the first of its kind in the United
States. It uses only fully welded seams and was designed and installed
by German engineers. The roof is so impervious to leaks that in Europe,where
it is often used on commercial structures, gardens are planted and watered
directly on the steel roof. Where the stainless steel appears on the fascia,
glass beads shot from high-powered nozzles were used to soften the shine
and approximate the color of
the adjoining concrete. |
