The cantilever is arguably one of the most dramatic structural moves available in architectural design. As a visually striking element, its appearance in built form is constantly being manipulated and tweaked to produce ever more unique and breathtaking effects.<\/p>\n

So it goes for this year\u2019s A+Awards Finalists: these projects demonstrate a wide range of uses for this elementary formal quality. You can browse all of the sensational winning projects in this year’s A+Awards book<\/a>, presented by Phaidon, and behold the boldness and elegance of these cantilevers below:<\/p>\n

Messner Mountain Museum Corones<\/b><\/a> by Zaha Hadid Architects
<\/a>Category: <\/i>Museum<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>This museum is one of a trio \u201cdedicated to the great rock faces of the world,\u201d and is embedded deep into an incline in Northern Italy. A cantilevered observation deck offers visitors views of two different mountain ranges and a glacier, and also imparts a feel of weightless suspension above vast, expansive valleys below.<\/p>\n

UNASUR General Secretary Headquarters<\/b><\/a> by Diego Guayasamin
<\/a>Category: <\/i>Architecture + Cantilever<\/a><\/p>\n

The longest unsupported, habitable structure in South America, this building juts out in several directions for both symbolic and dramatic effect. Each axis defined by the cantilevered edges makes reference to the country\u2019s central relationship with the earth\u2019s equator, and a reflecting pool below the longest extrusion enhances its stunning presence.<\/p>\n

Power House Center of SCG<\/b><\/a> by EKAR
<\/i><\/a>Category: <\/i>Factory Warehouse<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>This utility structure has been given an expressive exterior with a series of angled extrusions along the length of its primary fa\u00e7ade. Housing data services for the adjacent office complex, this playful form is an abstraction of its flat, horizontally banded neighbors. It seeks to pay homage to its surroundings while showcasing the company’s building products in the process.<\/p>\n

Manshausen Island Resort<\/a><\/b>by Stinessen Arkitektur
<\/a>Category: <\/i>Hotels & Resorts<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Dramatic views were the basis of design for the houses in this waterside resort, oriented to provide privacy from their neighbors. Each house in the resort features living spaces for 2 \u2013 4 people, with a library cantilevered over the edge of the coastline.<\/p>\n

Puma Energy El Salvador Headquarters<\/b><\/a> by Ruiz Pardo & Nebreda
<\/i><\/a>Category: <\/i>Office – Low Rise (1-4 Floors)<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>An overlapping of orthogonal, box-like forms was used to produce a variety of both sheltered and extruded spaces, the most dramatic of which has been reserved for a cantilever facing a major road. Meant to embrace the kinetic qualities of the busy road, the drama of the cantilever also invites the gaze of passersby deep into the interior of the building.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Valuable outdoor space was preserved for this hillside home by cantilevering nearly half of it over a garden. Primary living spaces on two levels (bedrooms and the main living room) hang above the garden, with sweeping views of a nearby harbor framed from the cantilever\u2019s fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

Valdemonjas Winery<\/b><\/a> by Agag+Paredes
<\/a>Category: <\/i>Factory Warehouse<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>A wine-tasting room for a vineyard is housed in the cantilevered portion of this structure, intended to act as a photogenic \u201cbusiness card\u201d for the estate. A roof that slopes backwards over the tasting room refers to the gravity-oriented process of wine-making the vineyard employs.<\/p>\n
