Modscape’s Cliff House in Australia is The Definition of Living Life on The Edge

Live life on the edge, they say. And Modscape’s Cliff House literally achieves that. Australian architecture specialists, Modscape Concept, has designed a thrilling five story vacation home that clings on a cliff’s edge over looking the south pacific ocean.

‘The unique positioning also gives the home’s residents an incredible connection to the ocean below, while alleviating construction problems associated with building on uneven rock.’ said Modscape Concept. Indeed, jutting from the top of the rock face like a strange extension of the rocks, Modscape’s Cliff House in Australia is a literal slice of luxury waterfront real estate with ‘an absolute connection with the ocean’.

Looks dangerous yet exciting, this extraordinary home overlooks the coast of Australia and it is definitely a luxurious view to wake up to. Many would question how this residential is built at one glance and engineered steel pins is the answer. 

The 3-bedroom house would have just a single entrance and this would be via the carport, situated on the top floor of the property. The owners would get to each level of the home via an elevator, one of which would come with an en suite bathroom in the bedroom, a separate bathroom, dining room, lounge, kitchen, spa and an area for a BBQ.

Modscape takes its name from its signature modular design style, rooted in sustainability and speed. Modscape was challenged to rethink its typical modular design for Cliff House due to its remote location on the coast of Australia. Of course, the environmental conditions was considered. Leading architect Maxwell Hutchinson told the BBC the unconventional design was a feasible one despite the threat of coastal erosion.

It’s one epic real estate development but unfortunately still a concept by Modscape. It is designed to be built from pre-fabricated modules stacked onto each other like Lego blocks and like barnacles clinging to the hulls of ships, the Modscape Cliff House is poetically analogous to the waterfront lifestyle.
