Architects Laertis Antonios Ando Vassiliou and Pantelis Kampouropoulos, who formed OPA Works together, envisioned the building concept as a “poetic homage to pure Brutalism.” The roof-top pool (at ground level) and underground walls help insulate the building and keep it cool. There’s clearly something about cliffs that excites architects’ imaginations, because the architects at Modscape Concept also created an amazing cliff-face house concept.

yikes! Makes me wonder if the cleft they built within was already there?

I like it. But, going up and down those stairs has got to get old after a while though. Couldn't they have included an elevator?

I wonder if geologists would consider such a house to be capable of surviving Mother Nature.

Beautiful for a warm climate. The light filter of the pool adds a lot.

It's certainly different. I'd like to see the rest of the house....like the kitchen, bathroom(s) bedroom(s) etc. I don't think I could live there.

Those who live in glass houses.. buried in the sides of cliffs... should not throw stones - for fear of causing an avalanche!

Glass Houses by Billy Joel. One of my favorite albums. Sorry, I had to say. I held back as long as I could.
