In response to a number of clients seeking options for living on extreme coastal plots, Australian prefab architecture firm Modscape created the Cliff House, a design concept for a home that extends precariously from the side of a cliff. Inspired by the way barnacles hang on to a ship’s hull, the Cliff House clings to the cliff’s edge, providing a thrilling view of the surrounding landscape and ocean waters.
The innovative, five-story home takes advantage of modular design and prefabrication techniques to deliver a series of modules stacked vertically on top of each other, attached to the cliff using engineered steel pins. Residents enter at the top floor, then descend to each level via a lift. A barbecue and jacuzzi area at the bottom floor provides an immediate connection with the sea, further emphasizing the Cliff House’s unique design as a natural extension of the cliff.
Keep in mind that this is currently a CONCEPT ONLY (it’s not real yet people!), but according to its architects it was created in response to their clients’ demands for unique cliff-based homes, so there might just be enough demand to warrant actually building a few.
What do you think? Do you like it and more importantly, would you live in it?!
Yes, I would live there, but only if I know when the rock collapses… which is totally sure at some point.
Quite clearly CGI. And pretty sh*t CGI at that.
The article states that it’s only a Concept at this time.
My bad, sorry. I feel silly now.
As sea levels rise do they have plans to turn the first floor into a built in pool?
How do they get rid of the sewage? Legally, I mean.
Not I would not live in this cliff edge house; but I don’t bungy jump either !
