Fully pre-built units such as the Weehouse or Loftcube would be my first choice, but as of yet I have been unable to find anyone to either hoist a structure to that height or deliver it by helicopter. I have started to work with a company called Modern Cabana, whose units can be delivered in 5 X 8 cartons. I would appreciate any ideas or guidance anyone can offer.

Taking into consideration all the logistical problems associated with placing one of these on a roof (referencing the earlier article), this doesn't seem very practical. Of course, I moved away from the Bay area and its insane real estate costs a couple of years ago. I have a 1500 sf townhouse on a golf course for the same price.
