Cliffside Homes
Cliffside Homes
Cliffside Homes are dwellings built on, beside, or into steep rock faces and abrupt slopes. Terraces, retaining structures, and stepped room arrangements help connect the building to difficult terrain. Cliffside Homes combine residential planning with the site's geology and exposure, while access routes, structural support, drainage, and the placement of openings shape the relationship between rooms and the surrounding landscape.
Dwellings Integrated with Slopes and Rock
Dwellings integrated with slopes, rock, or surrounding earth use the site itself as an important part of their architectural setting. Excavated rooms, stepped floors, retaining structures, and exposed facades offer different ways to accommodate terrain, with daylight, drainage, and access shaping the relationships between interior and landscape.
