floor slabs are set back to expose fifth floor cantilever from first floor entrance from street floor slabs then become independent from exterior walls structurally

fourth floor
fifth floor
no columns below cantilever
concrete cantilever
no columns on fourth floor to support cantilever from column/ slab system below
cantilever is balanced via steel cables that pull from one side of the cantilever over to the other and are bolted down into the ground below
cantilever becomes structurally independent (as it is private)
steel cables remain exposed
