A house on a cliff, under which the ocean waves are splashing, over which the stone ledges of mountain ranges rise up, must match its unusual location, and make the most of the opportunities that such a picturesque environment provides.
The cottage fits perfectly into the landscape: it looks like “slides down” from the slope, clinging at different levels to the unevenness of the relief. To prevent the house from actually sliding down, it was necessary to strengthen the foundation with powerful supports driven into the rock.
The view from this unusual house overlooking the ocean opens in different directions and amazes with its picturesqueness: lying in the bedroom, you can admire the continuous movement of the waves, sitting in the living room, overlooking the rocks on the coast.
To protect the house from possible fires, wooden parts, such as frames, were treated with a special compound, and copper panels will protect not only from fire, but also from the damaging effects of salty sea winds.
Natural materials have been used in this exclusive oceanfront home to emphasize its unity with the landscape. Stone steps continue the rocky path and lead to the garden, the wooden ceiling softens the hard character of the glass walls and hides the electrical wiring underneath..
Italian furniture of noble lines looks strict, introducing classic notes into the interior, and the picture above the sofa serves as a bright decorative accent.
To get to the kitchen, you need to go to the next level. All furniture here is made to order, the predominant colors are white and mahogany.
Next to the kitchen there is a terrace located above the very cliff. For safety, it is surrounded by a fence, and in order not to obstruct the view, it is made of special glass.
In a house on a cliff, the doors move apart to the full width of the wall, and in good weather it seems to dissolve in the surrounding spaces, allowing you to fully enjoy life in nature. When the wind rises, reaching a hurricane force in these places, the doors close, providing the inhabitants with peace and quiet..
In the center of the house on the cliff there is a library where the whole family likes to gather. Here you can watch TV, or, looking out the window, watch dolphins play. Actually, there are no windows as such in the house, instead of them there are glass walls, allowing you to admire the surrounding nature without interference.
A small patio can be accessed from the library.
The most spectacular oceanfront home is from the master bedroom. It provides all the amenities, there is both a shower and a bathroom, which is very unusual in design: its outer part, facing the glass wall, is also made of glass, so as not to interfere with enjoying an excellent view. Also in the bedroom there is a window overlooking the library, which can be covered with a screen for more intimacy..
