5 Spectacular Cliff-Hanging Homes
Drafting Quotes

It's fun to live on the edge, right? Well, the owners of these 5 spectacular cliff-hanging homes take living on the edge very seriously...
Seidler House
Iconic architect Harry Seidler designed this stunning home over the cliffs in NSW. The balcony has the best views of the winding river below, but it's not for the faint of heart! The home uses stone from the local area to connect it visually to the cliff-face. A dam created from these sandstone boulders creates a natural swimming pool, which doubles as a reserve of water incase of bushfires. Now that's clever!
Homlan House
This famous home designed by Durbach Block Jaggers Architects hangs precariously over a 70-metre ocean front cliff. The incredible house captures views up and down the coastline, unimpeded thanks to its daunting cantilever.
Treehouse
Treehouse by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects is lofted up in the treetops to take in the view of green bushland and the Southern coast of Victoria. Painted in shades of green with timber details, the home blends into the surrounds.
Cocoon
As if a zeppelin crash-landed in the Australian wilderness, Cocoon by Bellemo & Cat Architects is propped up overhanging a steep site. From it tree-top position, it commands spectacular views of the bush and ocean. Inside, lime-washed plywood keeps the look low-key and beachy.
