Otherworldly Island Cliff Homes

The Xalima Island House Concept Shows Real Luxury Living

— April 10, 2014 — Art & Design
The incredible Xalima Island House was created by Martin Ferrero Architecture and it was built to reside in a cliff. The concept video, meant to be a "Poem to the horizon framed by the sea," takes you from a view of the horizon, across the sea to the island and up a cliff where the incredible home sits.

There are several luxurious features in the Xalima Island House like the pools that hang over the edge of the cliff, furniture that bring elements of the outside landscape indoors, lush plants sprouting through certain openings in the floors, and more.

Every element took great care to design -- even the stairs are a sculptural masterpiece as they travel up through the spaces on each floor level. Not only is the structure's concept beautiful, but the CGI animation shows how the sunlight will flow through the windows and openings to make the island house look magical and otherworldly.
