The only reason this picture is up is that while looking at this close up could not figure out what in the hell those things are that have the arrow drawn to them.
FYI-this is an old ranch house that was redone.
The exit out to the top balcony has glass on either side which is kinda cool. If this were mine there would be some sort of walkway around the cupola along with places to sit in able to view from any window. Click on this and you will see there are two of these things mounted and this is the east side of the house.
Really don't know and if I can't get a clue from one of you guys next time I'm up there might have to drive in there and ask - that is if the gate is open down to the "Motherlode's" main house.
My guess is skylites with louvers attached to pump lite down a spiral staircase. We did something similar on a hi-end remodel in La Jolla in '88. It worked great during the day but was incredible at nite with a full moon. My other guess is you photo-shopped this to create controversy and split your readership so we don't get the public option we all want.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was skylites, too.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, it beats the hell out of me as to what it could be.
And about that public option that Anon mentions....
I have no idea what it is, but it looks like somebody is building their dream home.
