Bob & Kim Zielinski built this amazing home cantilevered high above Pittsburgh’s city skyline. The 6,900-square-foot, five level structure floats above the South Side, the neighborhood where I grew up. Over the past 20 years it has been slowly gentrified to include a waterfront mall and blocks of night spots. Even though a mere skip away from the new developments, views from the Zielinski’s place harken the old neighborhood’s industrial roots. The  living room window wall looks out over the South Side slopes, home to steel-working families and the Birmingham Bridge, made from salvaged parts of the historic Brady Street Bridge erected in 1896.  For more Tony Cenicola photos of the home head over to the New York Times style section and check out An Industrial Strength House in Pittsburgh.
