A dream house hanging from a cliff

An elaborate plan forms an enclosed courtyard with a swimming pool, sheltered from the ocean winds. The living room, made in the form of a glass pavilion, hangs over the cliff, resembling the captain’s cabin of an ocean liner.

Materials

The main materials are metal, concrete and glass. The flat roof is covered with moss lawn.
