A TRANSPARENT CABIN AT THE
EDGE OF THE WORLD
A 270-degree glass structure of this cabin is nestled into the
rock and stands a bit in front of the cliff, provoking the sense of
“impossible architecture”. Just like a lighthouse, it is confronting
the sea breeze on everyday basis.
The idea behind this minimalistic cliff cabin is to create a feeling
of weightlessness of the architecture overlooking the ocean. A
270-degree glass structure is nestled into the rock and stands
a bit in front of the cliff, provoking the sense of “impossible
architecture”. However, the building, which is set on the vertical
pillar and secured with the foundation made of recycled concrete,
is absolutely equilibrated.
The central pillar takes up small internal space and, at the same
time, includes most engineering and communications, maximizing
the view over Atlantic Ocean. Privacy is achieved by an integrated
system of window blinds around the perimeter.
