Cliff Edge Residence

This conceptual coastal dwelling is organised as a sculpted concrete volume anchored into the hillside, projecting outward to engage the sea without overwhelming the terrain. The curved structural forms soften the building’s mass while directing circulation toward the water, integrating pool, terrace, and interior as a continuous spatial sequence. Deep overhangs and recessed glazing manage solar exposure while maintaining uninterrupted visual connection to the horizon. The architecture balances structural expression with environmental restraint, prioritising longevity in a high-exposure marine setting.
