cantilever carries four-ton balancing rock in this indian residence

spasm design architects places a four-ton rock on the tip of a cantilever in this private residence in  maharashtra, india. the residence is located in an open field that faces the farmlands, the nearby reservoir and the highlands.

the modernist dwelling boasts floor-to-wall windows throughout that offer unobstructed views of the surrounding area. large openings leading to a terracotta terrace blur the boundaries between interior and exterior while a selection of natural materials allows the residence to blend in further. the six-meter cantilever hangs over the pool and carries a rock that embodies what the architects describe as an emotion of liberation.
