A statically complex scale-shaped frame construction with central bearings forms the skeleton for a cantilevered yet storm-proof structure with spectacular views in the most beautiful places in the world. The building is suspended almost freely swinging from a centrally anchored supporting structure. This will be able to absorb external forces. It is designed to guarantee earthquake resistance and balance out wind loads and the resulting vibrations.
The construction is assembled from finished segments on the building level and pushed out further and further on rollers – until the structure is complete. This saves construction costs and keeps the construction risks for such extreme architecture within an acceptable range.
Incidentally, a version that can be rotated around the center is also conceivable.

Possible uses include a restaurant, a museum or even a residential building.
