Enthroned-Above

This Guadalajara, Mexico, penthouse bathroom sports no illusion – it actually sits atop a 15-story elevator shaft. The elevator for the hoistway was never installed, so architects Jorge Luis and Her-nandez Silva decided to build the room with a reinforced glass floor over the unused elevator shaft. We suspect the view could even help with bath-room business, with a direct correlation to how comfortable the user is with heights.
