You can get used to everything, even to the abyss outside the window. But it seems that many people even like this state of affairs. No wonder they build houses on the edge of a cliff, then someone needs it. No, of course, to change the situation, to live for some time in extreme conditions is even interesting, but constantly ...
Probably not many would agree to spend the night in this hut on the edge of a cliff in the Swiss Alps. Impressions are enough for life. To spend the night is nothing, but it’s interesting how it was built there.
This house of the Belgian Ernest Gaston Solve has been standing since 1915, the house was built using the cable car, which was extended for these purposes, as well as pack animals. They called him that - Solve’s hut, it can accommodate 10 people at a time. This is the only house in the world located at an altitude of more than 4 thousand meters.
Of course, in order to get your portion of adrenaline, you can live in more comfortable conditions. So in the valley of Cuzco (Peru) on one of the rocks discovered SKyLodge, what kind of thing, you see in the photo. A fully transparent capsule with all amenities dangles at a height of 400 meters and accommodates 8 people.
Imagine, it even has a bathtub.
However, the desire to build a house on the edge of a cliff is not a fashionable hobby, people from ancient times built their homes in the most incredible places. So in the Spanish province of Giron there is a small village of Ronda, the Catalan municipality of Castellfollit de la Roca. The population is small, only about a thousand people, there are not many who want to live on the edge of the abyss.
From the side it looks scary, the rock itself is formed from lava and has bizarre shapes.
In general, a village, like a village, has its own church of San Salvador, narrow streets, architecture in the style of the late renaissance.
Most houses are built from the same stones of volcanic rock, mainly in the 18th century.
But in this villa you can settle for a long time, and do not care that the house is located on the edge of a 70-meter cliff above the Pacific Ocean. This is Holman's famous house in Dover Heights (Australia). This bold project was developed by Durbach Block Architects.
Also Australia, the home in Sydney of architect Luigi Rosselli.
British Columbia, a project by Canadian architects from Patkau Architects, the house over the cliff is called Tula.
On the one hand, the house is made in the Art Nouveau style, but on the other, it seems to fit well into the surrounding landscape. Maybe due to the presence of moss on the roof? :)
Lovely terrace and pool
The living room has a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean, the overview is very good, because the house is located at an altitude of 12 meters.
Home office or study, dining room
Modern kitchen.
This is Japan, the house in Yatsugatake, the name received by the name of the mountain in Nagano. The main purpose of building this house over a cliff, the same as the previous one, is beautiful views.
In Japan, as free space is valued nowhere, there is not much suitable land on the islands, therefore, the construction of houses over a cliff is caused not only by beautiful views, but also for practical reasons. So in this house in Nagoya they decided on the garage issue. The site was near a cliff and architects, using the shape of a polyhedron, added a bit of living space.
House on the edge of the abyss, and even on a tree. This is Ecuador, Hotel Casa Del Arbol, with amazing views of Tungurahua Volcano.
Thailand, luxury villa located on the cape of Phuket
Pennsylvania, a beautiful house over a waterfall, on the right a house over a cliff in Spain
And this is so far only a project, a house that they are planning to build not on a rock, but in the mountain itself, has even picked up an island in the Aegean Sea. On the right is a wooden house in Austria.
Australia. The name of the project “House on the cliff” does not quite accurately convey the content, because the planned building of the Budyon is not on the cliff itself. This is a five-story structure, which they are going to literally hang over the abyss. Modscape architects have studied the Australian real estate market and argue that the demand for such houses is very high. Probably the view from there is really gorgeous, I hope it is just as comfortable during the storm.
It seems that the houses on the edge of the cliff, on the cliffs and sea cliffs are really popular, here are a couple of dozens of interesting photographs.

It can be seen that the beautiful view from the window really means a lot, one wonders why then they invented the television?
