Inspired by the way barnacles hang on to a ship's hull, the Cliff House clings to the cliff's edge, providing a thrilling view of the surrounding landscape and ocean waters

Therefore; the innovative 5 story house takes advantage of modular design and prefabrication skills to deliver a series of modules stacked vertically on top of each other, well attached to the cliff using engineered steel pins. Though the inhabitant of home will enter at the top floor, and then descend to each level via a lift. A barbecue and jacuzzi area at the bottom floor offers an instant connection with the sea, more emphasizing the Cliff House's exclusive design as a natural extension of the cliff.

When he an adult, he always wanted to re-form this distinct place, so with his partner Nick Hobbs make a design and construct his vision. Peter Bahouth had previously purchased an ample land next to his house, and together with Hobbs designated a trio of closely equidistant trees to build around. The ultimately result is three fascinating spaces linked together by a suspension bridge.

Moreover every house is built with salvaged materials, antiques, and meaningful stuffs. They’re named “Mind,” “Body,” and “Spirit” and have personalities all their own. First of all you’ve to enter in “Mind”, which is meant as a place to gather, and includes ample seating for guests. The 2nd tree-house is “Body” actually a bedroom that’s filled with original art and a platform bed that slides out under the tree canopy. Therefore; “Spirit” is a round platform that is the tallest of the three and boasts an unbelievable view of the sunset. The rustic tree-houses also come equipped with a hammock for lazy afternoons and a bull’s eye for playing blow darts. Coupled with the cozy interiors, they're the impeccable spot to amuse friends or relish a night outdoors and feel closer to nature.

A Small Retreat House Built in the Forest on a Giant Boulder



Czech architecture agency Uhlik Architekti, (which includes architects Petr Uhlik, Jan Sorm) presented an innovative concept of leaning home.  As the pictures states; the house is actually called Forest Retreat, which is constructed in a diagonal formation with the upper section resting upon a giant boulder. The agency established this beautiful idea for their clients who requested a hideaway that could help as a quiet escape from the urban pandemonium of his life in Prague. We selected an area between Central and South Bohemia where the customer comes from and where he has loved going to since his childhood. He took us to a spot in the midst of fields, woods, and meadows, full of strange boulders, to a remote and somewhat forgotten place.

Although it is not spacious house but it construct the home, measures 10x20 feet, the architects used wood and fallen trees found along the owner's land in the forest, along the skills of local craftsmen. The main flat room proffers space for one person to stand and look out at the landscape through the large, floor-to-ceiling glass entryway. Large steps lead up towards a 2nd window that proposes a second view of the forest. However; interestingly each step functions as a resting place as well as storage and, moreover, one of the benches can be turned over to create a double bed. General, the multifunctional house is a straightforward space where the owner can relish a quiet escape from city living.

The table is made by popular London-based furniture design company Duffy London; the limited-edition quantity makes a geological cross-section as fascinating as the sea, completing the table as a three-dimensional representation of a geological map. With the significant price of £5,800 (approximately $10,000), the Abyss Table is as much a work of art as a functional piece of furniture.
The Founder Christopher Duffy says, I was looking into sheets of thick glass at my glass manufacturer’s factory, and I noticed that how the material darkened as they added more layers the similar way the sea does as it deepens. I got an idea to use this effect to replicate a real piece of the earth’s sea bed. Similar to a mythical power had lifted an accurate rectangle straight from the earth’s crust to use as his personal ornament." The Christopher Duffy is famous for creating inventive and idiosyncratic products that combine art and function. The perfect examples is of their creative furniture designs comprise a Little Red Riding Hood-inspired table with axe legs, a coffee table supported by floating balloons, and a playful swing table with hanging chairs.
