Later

The glass
comes next.

The room on the steel frame is the start. Helical piles, a floor lit from beneath, and a structured deck are how that room becomes a small place to stay.

The floor

Lit from beneath.

Clear or tinted, the glass floor carries light under the deck. The picture shows that floor, the net, and the span. Glass railings are part of the custom work.

The balcony

Held in the air.

The picture is the tower, the mesh, and the balconies. Glass railings, and helical piles under a deck this size, are the custom work. Nothing sits on blocks.

Closer

The same glass, other hours.

  • Close view of an A-frame glass deck at dusk, a steaming round wood tub, a floor lit from beneath, a cargo net in front, and snowy mountains beyond.
    The floor, lit, with the tub and the net.
  • Aerial view of an A-frame in snow among pines at blue hour, lit stairs rising to a glass deck, a river and snow peaks beyond.
    Blue hour over the valley, the deck still warm.
  • Close curved glass of a round tower at blue hour, wood sofas inside, a snowy mesh hammock, and a telescope on the roof rail, with snow mountains behind.
    Curved glass, a hammock, and the first snow.
  • A round glass tower in a snow field at deep blue dusk, spiral stair, sauna, tub, pines, snow peaks, and a line of string lights.
    The tower at dusk, stairs down to the snow.

The ground

Screwed into the slope.

About thirty minutes from Banff and from Kicking Horse. Off the grid, and still close to the hill.

What the glass adds

  1. 01 Helical piles
  2. 02 A glass floor, clear or tinted
  3. 03 A structured deck, and a net
  4. 04 Balconies with glass railings

SIP panels, solar, and atmospheric water sit behind the room. They keep it off the grid. They are not the view. Thirst Contact is a later fit of the same room, and it still needs further research.

The story

One room.
Several lives.

  1. 01The room

    An extension, or a stay, on the land you already have.

  2. 02The glass

    Helical piles, a lit floor, a deck, and balconies.

  3. 03The resorts

    A few rooms, custom, in Canada and Costa Rica.

  4. 04Aura Farms

    A vertical aeroponic wall. Buy it and grow, or ask Aura to place it.

  5. 05Thirst Contact

    Comes later. The water unit still needs further research.

  6. 06The builder

    The tool, on this page and on GitHub.
