The Cliffside House

Overview

The Cliffside House sits on a private promontory above Malibu's coastline, its long horizontal form tracing the edge of the bluff. Floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolves the boundary between interior and ocean, while board-formed concrete walls ground the structure against the wind. Designed for a family that wanted privacy without isolation, the house holds five bedrooms, a detached studio, and a sixty-foot infinity pool cantilevered directly over the water below.
