Sky cave

You’ve heard of a “man cave” but how about a “sky cave”? 

On the upper floor of this home is a terrace with a covered opening to overlook the neighbouring forest.   The cave was built with enclosed partition walls and deep eaves in order to block out the noise of passing trains and views from neighboring buildings yet still allowing natural sunlight to enter.   The result is a space that feels equally protected and open at the same time.
