Cliff House is a contemporary, highly sustainable clifftop “forever home” designed to adapt to the family’s evolving needs. Prioritising long-term energy performance, it combines renewable energy systems with highly insulated concrete construction, surpassing passive house standards to become one of the region’s first net-zero homes. A cedar-clad balcony frames expansive sea views while softening the building’s presence in the landscape. Angled louvres provide privacy and protection from the coastal weather without sacrificing transparency. A semi-open courtyard and garden draw the homeowners into their dramatic setting, creating a seamless connection between sheltered living spaces and the exposed cliffside environment.
