R3 · THE KEPT SKY
THREE WAYS TO STAND

CONFIGURATIONS

A glass-roof pergola closed into a sealed glass room by full-height glass walls, morning sky reading through the panes above a breakfast table

ENCLOSURE

Full-height glass closes the frame into a sealed room while the roof keeps the sky — the brightest of the four rooms, in every season.

GLAZED WALLS · SKY OVERHEAD

A glass-roof pergola running as a lean-to off a villa wall, pane shadows falling across a terrace sofa

EXTENSION

The glazed plane runs off the house itself — a lean-to that carries daylight over the terrace and into the room behind it.

HOUSE-ATTACHED · OPEN SIDES

A free-standing glass-roof pergola on four posts over a garden outdoor kitchen and dining table, sky visible through the roof

FREE-STANDING

Posts carry the glass roof alone — a bright island in the landscape, covered but never darkened.

SELF-SUPPORTING · ALL SIDES OPEN
