On the top picture you are looking through the moon gate. The pieces are 25″ tall and cut with a taper so they fit in a 10′ circle. We put a lot of effort into precisely shaping these pieces as well as hand rock facing the interior and exterior. The wood and plastic will be removed when the construction is complete.
Even the interior walls were built as the inside of a cave. Notice the lintel and sill has a weathered face as well. The camera struggled to capture the natural colors indoors.
The door and window edges are amazing. The stone Masons were upper class, we all realize the effort it takes to build “Cliffside Walls” with “Paper Thin Mortar Joints.
Notice the nice deep natural weathered grove in the lintel (picture above).
Some walls only had sections of cliffside appearance.
Notice the Adirondack Mountains mirrored in the door glass.
The Weathered Face of the Weatheredge Limestone on the interior areas fits so well with what you see though the glass, outdoors.
