Living on the edge : houses on cliffs

Living on the Edge. Houses on Cliffs. Buildings that seem to defy the laws of gravity. Living on the cliffs is undoubtedly an adventurous prospect - the stunning vistas, unspoilt natural surroundings, and the quietness of remote locations with the flair of a hide-out, as well as the proximity to nature, whether an ocean front or a mountain range. From houses that already exist to visions of tomorrow, the projects gathered in this volume embrace challenges such as steep, rocky terrain, limited accessibility, extreme weather conditions, and preserving the natural environment. Architects around the globe demonstrate the most innovative solutions for sites where construction may seem unthinkable.
