I’m a sucker for houses with amazing views, and the Holman House in Sydney, Australia certainly qualifies, inspired by a Picasso painting and built on 70 metre high cliffs.
The living areas are cantilevered out over endless views of the ocean while the bedrooms are snug against the cliff side. The lower levels form a base built on rough stone walls which continue along the cliff edge to form concentric terraced gardens and a rock pool.
*More pictures of this amazing house can be seen on Khooll, Dezeen or on the architect’s page, Durbach Block Jaggers
