Looks like a heavy roof

  1. Just a roof, or living space underneath? Would need serious structural support if more than just a roof.

  2. Mid-70s 280SEL4.5 Convertible. Mother in law had a '73 silver 4-door

  3. Can typically cantilever up to 1/3 the span.
    That's a simple lightweight box beam joist system with a shotcrete exterior.

    From google lens:

    This is the Arango House (also known as Marbrisa House) located in Acapulco, Mexico.

    It was designed by architect John Lautner and constructed between 1971 and 1973.

    The home features a dramatic, large cantilevered concrete roof designed to overlook Acapulco Bay.

    It was commissioned as a weekend home by Mexican businessman Jerónimo Arango.
