Cliffhang

The Cliffhang located is a getaway house that accommodates 2 sets of families, multiple couples or a crowd of people. The retreat takes 2 forms and blends them together. Upstairs locates 2 areas of bedrooms and living, whilst the downstairs consists of common shared spaces. The south facing entrance, is concealed with a modest composition. Landscape surrounds the driveway to create an enclosed presence. The north facing side completely contrasts, with transparency, indoor/outdoor merging and prominent composition. The stairs located central to the house takes the occupant through a journey between from closed to open. What keeps continuity throughout the design, is a simple materials palette aimed to blend into the nature of trees and rock.
