I think it was from the architect.</p>https://fwiw.jp/posts/2025/06/roof-panorama/Sun, 06 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0900https://fwiw.jp/posts/2025/06/roof-panorama/<p>I love panoramic views into the distance. Cities, oceans, mountains, whatever. So when we were just starting to design our house, I wanted a roof balcony with a nice view.</p> <p>Tokyo is pretty crowded, and there are tall houses on two sides of our lot. Naturally, I wanted to simulate how the view would look from the expensive roof balcony we were considering.</p> <p>My first idea was to send a drone up to the correct height and photograph it, but that was difficult for a number of reasons, including the fact that I don&rsquo;t have a drone that could do it.</p>
