Living on the edge of a cliff can provide a sensational experience. You can find a number of houses around the world that are built into or over cliffs. These cliff houses are designed to maximize the views and blend in the surrounding landscape. They look tremendous but mind it they are not for the faint-hearted!

These gravity-defying structures are for those who are in search of peaceful and inspiring living spaces. If you are looking for some inspiration, we have enlisted some of the best cliff houses below:

Clifftop House by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects

This 960-square foot wooden cabin extends over the edge of a rocky cliff near the Atlantic coastline of Nova Scotia, Canada. The cabin is cantilevered over metal stilts and only a small section lies on the ground, which creates a modest cliff-hanging structure.
