Imagine a tall and steep cli and the vast ocean unveiled in front of it. As you climb all the way to the
top all you want is to stay there and to admire the breathtaking views forever. That wish took the first
step towards becoming reality for a couple that chose to have their holiday home hanging o a cli

above the ocean in Victoria, Australia. It’s a challenging project planned by modscape. The base idea
was to treat the house as a natural extension of the landscape.

Casa Brutale is an extraordinary concept. Unlike the structures that are hanging from the side of cli s,
this one is actually embedded into the rock itself, fitting in perfectly as if it was poured in from the
beginning of time…or at least that’s the desired impression. The concept is created by OPA and the 36 Ways To Stay
design depicts a contemporary and minimalist house situated above the Aegean Sea. The plan is to Organized With DIY 36 Ways To Stay

The ancient pyramids are a source of great controversy and a never-ending source of inspiration. This
is one of the latest projects visibly influenced by this idea: a house concept created by TNA which
depicts a structure that looks like an inverted pyramid made of concrete. The upside-down block will
hopefully be built in Matarraña, a region of Spain the plan is to have it partially buried into the
ground.
Everyone knows about tree-houses…they’re fun but and there are some very interesting design
adaptations out there but the concept hasn’t really been revolutionized in a long time. A new idea
inspired the world when trees started being integrated inside newly-built houses. One design stands
out from all the others. It’s a concept planned by architect Aibek Almassov. The design shows a giant
glass cylinder with a big tree at its center and with terraced spaces encircling it without actually
touching it at any point.
We’ve reached a point where we’ve become aware of how disconnected we are from nature and we’re
taking measures to change that. Projects such as the one by Konrad Wjcik inspire us to find new ways
of living in harmony with nature. This is a concept design which aims at integrating living spaces in
forests without disrupting the natural environment in any way. The final goal is to establish a
community with a carbon footprint as close to zero as possible.
The best views can o en be admired from up on the roof of a house and it’s a real shame that we’re
not taking better advantage of them most of the time. The concept house designed by Kois
Associated Architects attempts to change that in a big way. The studio came up with the idea of a
house that has an infinity pool on its roof. The renderings show the house on the Tinos island in
Greece, on a rocky terrain along the S-W coastline. They called it the Mirage house and they partially
buried it into the landscape in an attempt to make it blend in with its surroundings.

To understand why this project is called House of Seven Gardens you need to see it. Just to be clear,
it’s a concept idea and the house doesn’t exist…yet. The design was done by Fran Silvestre
Arquitectos to be built somewhere in Andalusia, Spain. The structure looks nothing like a house as we
know it. It’s not a single compact structure but a series of long and sinuous blocks that frame a series
of seven tiered gardens. It consists of several curving segments set into the sloping terrain and
intermixed with lawns and gardens.
The images created by designer Alex Hogrefe look so real due to all the attention to detail and yet the
ones that shows the structure from a distance look too fantastic to seem true. This is a concept design
for a retreat carved deep into a cli in Iceland. The designer even went as far as to show as accurately
as possible the sweeping views that the retreat would o er if ever built there.
The Chair House concept is the work of architect Igor Sirotov. You may not be able from the images
showing the interior design of the structure, but this is a pretty unusual house. It’s meant to fit well in
rugged environments and its strategy is to look harsh but to be warm and cozy inside. It’s this
contrast between the interior spaces and the exterior shell as well as the surrounding landscape that
makes the house impressive, interesting and inspiring. Of course, there’s more to the concept than
that. The living room can be accessed via an exterior staircase and has a large window that brings the
outdoors in.
This is Nest, a concept for a ski resort in Utah, US. It was developed by bicuadro architecture
associates and the conceptual plan includes a series of matching structures designed to serve as
individual units. They’re grouped in clusters along the slopes and the design features a curved back
that splits into two cantilevering sections at the front, each framing the panoramic view.They end in
open balconies and have full-height windows.
Some dream of being able to live completely o grid, in a house that’s self-su icient and placed in the
middle of nature, surrounded only by trees, vegetation and bodies of water. Something tells me that
they’d fall in love with the concept house designed by Charles Wright Architects. The structure is
designed to withstand the most powerful cyclones in Queensland, Australia, is organized on two
floors and hangs over the edge of a lake. Not only that but the house is meant to be entirely self-
su icient, using solar panels and a rainwater harvesting system.
The last concept that we want to show you today is for a restaurant/ bar and was designed by Tall
Arquitectos. It’s called Copper Canyon Cocktail Bar and it’s a two-level structure to be built in Mexico,
cantilevered over the edge of a steel cli . Naturally, the views are incredible. The design places the
tables along the walls so guests can admire the views while dining and features a glass floor section
at the center. There’s an observation deck which can be accessed via a staircase.
