pouring the roof and raising the floor

beach wall necessary to stop erosion again

tree house floor, way up in the trees!

support beam for the cantilevered roof that will have a u-shaped cut-out for the bbq

beach wall, filling in with 'pata pata' shells, then a light concrete slurry, the covered with thick nice sand!

the last beam formed up

restaurant skeleton


forming the roof edges. shells will hide the concrete edge and a second row of shells will hold back the soil. plants will drape and hide the shells... keeping it organic!

first half of roof! notice scalloped edges for drainage...

second half of roof getting formed up. two open arches over the booths.

supporting the form. will be pouring thick concrete with lots of rebar and wire. this is gonna be a strong arched roof!

view from the beach

an open center channel in the roof will be covered with glass that will have a stained-glass effect, casting colours across the floor and letting in the sunlight!

moving from concrete feet to concrete boots!

pouring the roof!

all poured!

finished the first side and removed the forms
