The Cliff House by Modscape

There are some who romanticise the idea of living in a little house by the sea, where you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing nearby…

Well, scratch any romantic notions you might have because this concept house by Australian architecture and design studio Modscape is anything but. It’s in your face and we love it.

Using modular design principles and inspired by barnacles (yes, barnacles), The Cliff House came about in response to queries the firm had been getting from clients living in extreme coastal regions of Australia.

In reality, the house would be made up of five storeys with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, spa, braai area, an open plan dining room/kitchen and a garage. You’d come in through the garage at the top of the cliff and have lift access to each floor.

Pretty remarkable, right?
