Yes this closed in look was something I'd already been thinking about 
... I'm still working on the 2nd tier arches. It duplicates easily in 
the vertical as well I think that will be the 3rd tier as well.

I need a platform for the hoist to position the "P" so I was thinking of 
bringing a copy of the 2nd tier down into the court-yard, but I don't 
know how it will look
