If the thought of living in an abode that hangs off the side of a cliff has you scared of heights, then the 'Casa Nuria Amat' by Jordi Garces probably isn't the place for you.
Nestled a mere 8 miles from Barcelona, the Casa Nuria Amat is the epitome of opulent living. While the abode may only boast 450 sq. feet of living space, it makes up for it in one-of-a-kind features like the incorporation out raw cliff into the bedroom. Spanish architect Jordi Garces designed the Casa Nuria Amat for his family to live in on weekends -- how nice!
Implications - Incorporating outdoor elements within indoor designs -- like this abode does with raw cliff details -- is an exemplification of the increasing demand consumers have for bringing the outdoors in. Product designs that allow for this kind of incorporation will continue to seek massive growth.
