This Alternative Housing Design Is Letting People LITERALLY Live On The Edge.

The concept for the house is to literally sit in a crevice on a high cliff. - This Alternative Housing Design Is Letting People LITERALLY Live On The Edge.

Have you ever dreamt of living in a quaint little house, overlooking the sea? You could read books by your front window while the ocean crashes just nearby, and you would never be lacking in gentle sea breezes when you stand in your front yard. It all sounds so magical, doesn't it?

This house is for people who want just that - but just a little bit more extreme.

It's the concept design by Opa Works, and it's called the Casa Brutale. Brutale is meant to celebrate the brutalist style of architecture, and it's also meant to interact with nature. When you see how this house is situated literally in the edge of a cliff, you might think it interacts with nature a little too much.

Basically, it's as minimal as a house can get. Still, it looks magnificent when viewed in full, doesn't it?
