I would guess there is a weight limit for owning one of those that you must make sure you do not over exceed.
Unless there is a pillar there that I do not see. More pictures!
Digg!

clayton_25_2000 says:

Doesn't look that incredible. If there are supporting I-beams running the the width of the building, then they support to weight of the over hanging sections. It's no different than you standing on the end of a diving board. The supported section of the board supports your weight while you stand on the end over the water.

Great idea, and it looks well executed.

Brandon Iain says:

I would want one way mirrored floors if I lived in an overhang like that. I could look down but no one could look up. It would help light below the overhangs, anyway. Then I could entertain my exhibitionist tendencies while remaining my shy self.

ergeheilalt says:

The design of the structural supports could easily be handled by any second year engineering student worth their salt. The only reason we don't see things like this more often is due to the associated costs of steel and the crapton of foundation material needed to reposition the centroid to a stable location.

This building is also on the cover for Autodesk's Architecture 2008 (latest edition since Autodesk's recent mergers), and everyone around the office here, including myself, thought it was a computer generated rendering. Guess we were wrong!

Brian Shaler says:

very cool!

and digg users apparently can't count for sh*t.

ahawks81 says:

Pretty cool but I wouldn't want to live on the floor below one of those extensions. 24/7 shadow = lame.

Im betting that thing has a huge heavy foundation underground. digg sucks.

trinaryouroboros says:

Dude, your camera lagged out again?

Half the textures on this building aren't even rendering properly, best do a reboot of reality and relog.

It looks like they used cantilevers for support.

Why this is news to Digg years after it was built is a little strange, but I guess all things are new again.

I don't think I'd dare to live there.

I have to wonder how good move it is to attract residents.

But sure, some people probably think it's all just looking cool and not about the structure. :-S

I wasn't going to comment but then I noticed that there were other people who also saw this photo on digg.com and I felt an unnerving compulsion to announce to the rest of the world that I also saw this on digg.com. digg.com.

P.S. I saw this on digg.com.

Thank you (especially you digg.com, you know who you are),

Shame the overhangs don't move around the building, that would be cool

drNumLock says:

Nice building. The idea didnt come out of nowhere either, but is a sound answer to the local building regulations and the demands of the building task. Sometimes restrictions and wishes produces unexpected answer.

I'd hate to live in the apartments directly below the overhangs--it would be too dark all the time. Over them would be cool, if you could use the "roof" as a patio, though. :)

Ok people its a cantilever...check into it. And yes it is a real project by MVRDV in the Netherlands. I wish more architecture would inspire this much response.
