+FANTASTIC+
>w/ two biotronic roof cones<)

>that was constructed offers you<
>two design concept views<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#1) +CONSTRUCTION+
>photo with concrete solar heating rock<
+PASSIVE SOLAR+

>(three decentralized suites)<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#2) +FINAL VERSION+

+SANS ROOF CONES+
>design changed during construction<
>deminishing the biotronic value<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#3) +ORIGINAL VERSION+
>shown in this east elevation drawing<
>with the roof cones design choice<
>was my favorite concept but<
+PERHAPS+
>owners felt too french looking<
>(modern style decision)<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#4) +CONSTRUCTION+
