About House On The Cliff Residential Building
House On The Cliff is a residential building located in Algarve, in the southern part of Portugal. The total area is 250 square metres. The architectural solution consists of two rectangular volumes embedded in each other, and the vertical chimney appears at their intersection. The rhythm of the structure is set by the complex form and by the multidirectional textures of the facade cladding. Only natural materials and their derivatives are used. The main volume is made of architectural concrete, and the second volume is clad in metal that oxidizes over time.

- Production Technology
- The main volume is made of architectural concrete; the second one is fronted with metal, in time covered with a patina and oxidized under the influence of precipitation. Also, the project uses a thermal tree, which, under the influence of the sun, will be burnt out and acquire new shades.
- Inspiration
- The natural context was fundamental: the house is commensurate with the rocky landscape, all the windows turned to the ocean; the selected color scheme is based on neutral natural tones. The discreetly decorative perforation of the facade, reminiscent of a scattering of stars, allows sunlight into the interior, creating a play of light and shade. A non-steep staircase with an interesting irregular rhythm of steps emphasizes the natural slope that leads to the shore from the house.
- Project Duration
- The project has started in 2020 and still in progress.
The location is Algarve, the southern part of Portugal. - Operation Flow
- The house’s functional program is distributed as follows: the living room and the dining room are concentrated in a larger volume; the bedroom and the bathroom are in a smaller volume.
Clients are introverts, and this house is the place where they come, exhausted of the rush city, to be alone with nature, be filled with the energy of the ocean.
The chill-out zone is a meditative space for the clients. It is organized by two sun loungers, a fireplace, and a small overflow swimming pool. In the open-air lounge, the residents can leisurely watch the running ocean’s waves, read a book by the fireplace wrapped in a blanket, or sip a glass of wine. - Patents
