Stunning Contemporary Weekend Escape on the Edge of a Cliff with Ocean Views

ByMyProperty Life

A weekend home that takes us away from our usual life and rush is one that we all long for. But an even more impressive escape is a weekend retreat that sits on the edges of a stunning cliff and overlooks the coastline, ocean and the scenery beyond. This is just what you get as one steps into the brilliant world of Till House designed by WMR Arquitectos in Chile. Perched seemingly precariously on the cliff’s edge, it is the rugged coastline that brings unmatched beauty to this relaxing contemporary home. Its structure is simple and minimal with a metallic frame and wooden interiors that feel modern and edgy at the same time.

Stunning holiday home on the edge of a cliff in Chile with amazing views








The small weekend shelter contains a living area, kitchen, dining space and bedrooms in an open plan setting. During daytime, glass walls open up the house to 360 degree views of the scenery while at night study doors can be pulled and placed to ensure that those inside have complete privacy. Décor inside the house is simple and minimal and accentuates the view outside rather than shift the focus indoors. Splendid at every turn and breathtaking at times, this weekend escape is one that is truly unforgettable! [Photography: Sergio Pirrone]

The volume is 6 x 12 meters big. To the west, north and south side, terraces were designed to take advantage from the different intense of the sun. In these terraces we used 2”x6” slats, and 2” separates from each other. This gives texture to the shadows. On the roof, there is a 100% sunny terrace.

  • Saddle Peak Residence

    A completely transformative renovation opened this former tract home up to views, light, and its stunning outdoor setting. It’s all about the views, but this residence wasn’t always this way. What is now a metal and cedar stunner situated on a private, hilly enclave above Calabasas, was once a darkly lit 1960s-era generic single family home. A two-year renovation made a total overhaul for an entrepreneur and his wife, empty nesters with kids living nearby. The architect, Brian Wickersham of AUX Architecture in Los Angeles, didn’t change a thing in terms of the home’s footprint and rooflines; he couldn’t. “We initially looked at building a new home, but quickly learned that because of an ancient paleolithic landslide, that the county requirements for restraining the hill would be cost prohibitive and time-consuming—potentially five or more years,” says Wickersham. “Instead, we devised a plan to work within the existing house footprint and building envelope for a project that would be classified as a renovation.” In addition to these parameters, the homeowners tasked him with throwing out all of the old—down to the last salad fork—and bringing in everything new—all the while designing something where they could entertain a growing gaggle of grandkids. The result is a modern home that transitions from indoors to outdoors with the ease this property was intended for. “It’s about striking a balance between modest down-to-earth people and helping them realize they can be living a luxurious lifestyle,” says Wickersham. It’s about them living at a higher level of luxury.” A composition of dark standing seam metal and vertical grain cedar give the appearance of three cut pieces, shifted side-to-side, the wood being the cut face. The cedar siding also carries from outside to in, bringing warmth to the home and reinforcing the inside-outside connection. Solar panels, thermal panels to heat the pool, and a thermally coupled HVAC system enable the home to largely function off-the-grid.
