14 DAY TRIAL // Like most people, I like my houses (not that I own all that many of them) firmly attached to the ground. You know, with their floors facing the ground and their chimneys pointing at the sky.
Well then, imagine my shock when I laid eyes on the so-called Cliff House birthed by the innovative minds of architecture specialists with Australian firm Modscaoe Concept.
This bizarre house, a photo of which is available next to this article, is designed to hang for a cliff at a distance of just a few meters from the sea tossing and turning right beneath it.
One such home would surely give you a one of a kind view of Mother Nature in all its glory, but let's face it, there is no way anyone could ever enjoy a quiet night's rest in it. Not when there's always the risk to wake up in the water.
According to Daily Mail, this peculiar establishment, which is currently only a concept house and not an actual property inhabited by actual humans, comprises prefab modules that form five floors and that are attached to the cliff by means of support beams.
Apparently, residents are expected to enter the house through the top floor, and then use an elevator or stairs to reach the modules that are closer to the sea.
As mentioned, the Cliff House is currently no more and no less than a concept. As a person who is terribly afraid of heights, I for one sincerely hope that it will never be built.
