Sleek Cliffside Residences

This Five-Bedroom Home is Located on a Sensitive Site

Jamie Falla Architecture designed the 'Couin de Vacque,' a five-bedroom home located in Guernsey.

The sustainable residence takes the place of a crumbling 1950s villa. Because the home runs along the south boundary, the views look towards the north-east side. Glazed doors facilitate access to an infinity pool and accompanying courtyard.

Beyond providing beautiful views, the home relates to the landscape in terms of its materials. Namely, the concrete floors, recycled granite, glass, slate, zinc and green roof allow it to better harmonize with its environment. The site is also especially significant due to its proximity to the National Trust Field, a historically preserved space popular with hikers. The architects hope that the Couin de Vacque will one day "form part of Guernsey’s future heritage."
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Cliffside Homes - The demand for sustainable homes that blend in with the natural environment has been rising. This presents an opportunity for architects to design eco-friendly homes that also preserve the beauty of the natural environment.
2. Green Roof Houses - More and more architects are incorporating green roofs into their designs, which creates a natural insulation system and reduces energy consumption. This presents an opportunity for landscapers and gardeners to develop and maintain rooftops that promote vegetable growth, decrease pollution, and provide insulation.
3. Infinity Pools - The popularity of infinity pools has been increasing steadily, especially in luxurious properties where the view is highly valued. This presents an opportunity for pool manufacturers to create more customizable designs and options that cater to different needs and preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - The architecture industry is in a unique position to capitalize on the rise of demand for sustainable and eco-friendly homes that also preserve natural landscapes.
2. Landscaping - The landscaping industry is poised for growth as more architects incorporate green roofs into their designs. Landscapers can develop and maintain these roofs and offer other eco-friendly solutions that help preserve the natural environment.
3. Luxury Real Estate - The luxury real estate industry can use the rising popularity of infinity pools as an opportunity to provide more luxurious and customizable options that cater to different lifestyles, aesthetics, and budgets.
