Architects; House Pinned To Cliff Side by DrankFonga(m): 6:51am On Sep 10, 2014
If you've ever wanted to have the ocean right at your door, this concept property on the Australian southwest coast seems to be precariously clinging to the side of a cliff - just metres above the sea.

The aptly named Cliff House extends off a vertical rock face and is anchored to the cliff side with support beams.

Cliff House was conceived of by Australian prefab architecture specialists MODSCAPE Concept, who were inspired by the shape of barnacles clinging to the hull of a ship.

Cliff House will extend off a vertical rock face and be anchored to the cliff side with support beams. Each floor of the five-storey dwelling will be held together by engineered steel pins. The concept home, which seems to almost propel off the overhang, makes the property look as if it is an extension of the landscape. On their website, the
architects say that their aim is to create 'an absolute connection with the ocean.'
The five-storey home will be made from prefab modules which are arranged in a vertical floor plan. Each ‘room’ or floor will then be stacked atop the other and held in place with engineered steel pins which are driven into the cliff face.

Residents will enter the property from the cliff top at floor level and will use an elevator or stairs to descend to the bedroom, living area and kitchen.
Minimalist styling: Gorgeous, unbroken views of the Indian Ocean await
On their website, the architects say that they were aiming to create 'an absolute
connection with the ocean.'
The lowest floor of the concept home will comprise an outdoor space which seemingly floats about the water and a stunning – if rather scary – view of the ocean awaits.

The distinctive design solution came about after Modscape Concept were asked by a couple to create a property on Australia’s southwest coast, where they owned some land.

That's some scary house right there. That's Living on edge!

Although this is creative and impressive, nothing is going to make me leave here. I'd rather live in someplace else and go to the beach whenever I want to see the sea.
