Mexican studio Tall Arquitectos are the team behind this week’s concept of the week: A cantilevered cocktail bar and restaurant suspended terrifyingly over Mexico’s Copper Canyon.

The design imagines a building called Biré Bitori extending far out from the rock face, overhanging a sheer drop below. The restaurant would feature a glass floor, providing a heartstopping view down to the bottom of the canyon.

Above the restaurant level, the studio have also envisioned an open-air observation deck and pool which offer panoramic views of the landscape, including a huge waterfall.

The spectacular Copper Canyon, located in the northwestern state of Chihuahua, is 600 km (372m) in length. It is a well-known adventure holiday destination, with popular activities including hiking, biking and horseback riding.

While Tall Arquitectos’ proposal is just a concept at this stage, several similarly scary projects have been built for real.

Peruvian tour operator Natura Vive offers courageous guests the opportunity to climb 1,312ft up a cliff face to sleep in a transparent hanging bedroom; Hunan's Shiniuzhai National Geological Park features a glass-bottomed bridge crossing a 180m deep chasm; and Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies has opened a suspended glass platform hovering high above the Columbia Glacier.

Meanwhile, an outdoor glass slide 1,000ft above the ground will soon link the 70th and 69th floors of LA’s Bank Tower.
