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.

  • Kūono at Volcano

    Kūono is a modern cabin located on the Big Island of Hawaii near Volcanoes National Park. Its exterior was inspired by the modern sea cabins of Norway, and was designed to appear as a modern shape glowing in contrast to the dense Ohia forest. The exterior features of the property fade seamlessly into the boundaries of the site, with a crushed basalt driveway, native landscaping and outdoor sitting areas that were leveled with rocks dislodged during foundation preparation. Water to the property is supplied by a catchment tank and pump house, screened from view by horizontal cedar lattice. Kūono’s design allows for the experience of minimal restriction between indoor and outdoor. Its living spaces include both an open concept interior floor plan as well as an expansive lanai that features a central fire pit, lounge chairs and cedar ofuro soaking tub. From inside the cabin, a full height window wall and sliding glass doors give guests a complete vertical panorama of soil to blue sky through the Ohia canopies above. The floor plan efficiently accommodates four, with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and a vaulted sleeping/living space. In addition this home was under construction during the 2018 eruption that lasted 4 months. Although it was 20 miles away from the flowing lava that decimated over 700 homes, it was 4 miles away for the Halemaumau Crater which at one point experienced a 30 day stretch with daily 5.0 or greater earthquakes including one with a magnitude of 6.9. Minimal, modern, yet comfortable, Kūono is meant to be a place of respite, where guests are immersed in the beauty of Volcano’s natural landscape with the comforts of a luxury guest home still at hand.
