The Cliff House design concept by Australian architects Modscape.

Vertically stacked modules (inspired by, eh, ‘barnacles’) suspended on  a sheer face, anchored by steel pins with a parking bay on top and an open barbeque/jaccuzi deck on the bottom level.

A wonderful addition to any scenic seacliff location.
