Concrete Cliffside Houses

The 'Aqua Casa' is a Luxury Retreat that Disappears into the Coastline

— February 19, 2016 — Art & Design
At first glance, the 'Aqua Casa' is a luxury retreat that could easily be missed if looking at the cliffside from afar because of the ultra-low profile of the building.

Although the 'Aqua Casa' offers gorgeous ocean views, the top portion of the building is designed to be equally as pristine. A pool, sun deck and helicopter pad are incorporated into the rooftop deck of the 'Aqua Casa,' which spans the length of the building.

Designed by BelKharmoudi Aziz, the 'Aqua Casa' is a luxury retreat that would provide inhabitants with a luxurious experience on the coast of a desert locale. Although conceptual, the 'Aqua Casa' draws to mind how coastlines could be preserved by incorporating buildings directly into the cliffside for maximum land appreciation.
Trend Themes
1. Cliffside Architecture - The trend of designing and building luxury homes into the cliffside, preserving coastlines and providing unique experiences for homeowners.
2. Rooftop Amenities - The trend of incorporating luxury amenities such as pools and sun decks into the rooftops of buildings to maximize land use and provide unique experiences for guests.
3. Desert Luxury - The trend of creating luxurious experiences for homeowners in desolate or remote locations, drawing in tourists looking for a unique experience.
Industry Implications

2. Hospitality - An opportunity for high-end hotels to incorporate rooftop amenities such as pools and sun decks into their buildings to offer unique experiences for their guests.
3. Tourism - An opportunity for tourism companies to create luxury experiences and promote desolate or remote locations as unique destinations for travelers looking for a luxurious getaway.
