*해안가 절벽의 드라마틱한 클리프 하우스 [ Modscape ] Cliff House

당신의 상상력은 어디까지 입니까? 어느 하우스보다 드라마틱한 건축환경을 제공하는 클리프 하우스 프로젝트가 제안된다. 총 4개층으로 구성, 최상층에 위치한 주차장으로 부터 역방향으로 -하부로- 거실 및 생활공간 그리고 최하층에 위치한 개인침실이 연속된다. 하우스의 최대장점인 360도 파노라마 뷰포인트는 주거 어느곳에서도 누릴 수 있는 특권으로 거주자의 풍부한 감성을 만족시킨다. 비록 실현되지 않은 프로포즈지만 실제로 구축된다면 건폐율과 용적률은 어떻게 산정할까? 라는 뜬금없는 생각이 든다.

Picture yourself waking up daily to a 180-degree view of the ocean without leaving the comfort of your living room. The owners of the as-yet-unbuilt Cliff House have teamed up with Modscape of Australia to design their compact dream home, delicately perched above open water, hanging off the cliff’s edge. Cliff House redefines “living dangerously” with its vast floor to ceiling windows and slender steel supports acting as the only separation between watching Jaws and actually being in Jaws.

The four storey home sits beneath a clifftop-level two car garage, virtually invisible from afar. As if in a James Bond film, the car is parked atop the sleek home where the user can enter through a discreet staircase leading to the space below. Once inside, users discover the panoramic views offered in each of the glass-encased spaces. The spaces are stacked to grow more private from top to bottom, with the kitchen stacked above the living room, stacked above the bedrooms, with a private terrace beneath. The modestly proportioned home includes a full kitchen, dining room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite, and a spa on the open air terrace.

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. The home will be constructed of several stacked modular units anchored into the face of the cliff using engineered steel pins. In response to extreme coastal conditions, the oceanside wall of the of the home tapers toward the cliffside creating an angled glass-curtain interior throughout the home.

The home is designed to emulate barnacles as they cling to the hull of a ship, hence its position below the edge of the cliff. The designers at Modscape have described the home as a “natural extension of the cliff face rather than an addition to the landscape, creating an absolute connection with the ocean.” All it needs now is 007 himself and an invisible Aston Martin in the garage.
