I am impressed with the huge overhangs, could anybody tell us which system was used to structural design? Postensioning? Steel structure? I can not imagine how to support those overhangs.

Hi there,
My name is Kimberly and I work for a local production company based in New York.
Wondering if you know the owner or a management company who is responsible for this house? I have a client who is interested in it.
Thank you,
