Here an angled roof extends to create a sheltered patio. In both directions the steel beams supporting the roof are exposed, themselves sitting upon a slender round column that further defines the extents of the patio. A steel beam is also part of the mix, working as a header for a sliding door.
is cheaper to have load bearing for roof on the outside so you have more leeway with the "store front windows" and sliders or do you put them in the glass wall
