Although this may simply look like another [well-designed home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house), the [Edge House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magarigawa-club-clubhouse) is that and more. If you take a closer look at the photos in the gallery above and also take into account its name, I’m sure you’ll figure out why it is pretty impressive.

Designed by Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Architects, it is [built on a pretty serious cliff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-yuri). Essentially, the Edge House looks "like you could shoot a James Bond movie in it," according to the designers.
