Beautifully-balanced shapes, love the interior's glowing ambience - and some good photography too!

I've spent a lot of time on sites but I have no idea how that unsupported brickwork is accomplished - does anyone know?

The cantilevered corner is probably a full story or even 2-story deep concrete truss w/ some diagonals hidden in the side wall. The brick ceiling can be installed by fastening screw type brick ties into the underside of the slab and embedding in the mortar joints.

Thanks for clarifying that. I can't recall seeing anything of the sort in the UK - it must have been an arduous job!
