Breathtaking 'Mountain House' Projects Over Rocky Cliffside

An architectural designer has created a breathtaking home which projects over a rocky cliffside.

Milad Eshtiyaghi, from Iran, delicately designed his concept to not impact on four existing trees on the site.

The so-called 'Mountain House' features many terraces and a glass-bottomed swimming pool, and Eshtiyaghi envisages the multi-tiered structure as a home for a multigenerational family.

He explains: "The idea of the design start from the base that was already there on the site of the four old trees, and we wanted to building our project without cutting or moving the trees, so we built our project around the trees and in the space between we made a backyard in front of the trees.

"We divided the project into three levels according to the client need: one level for family parents; one level for the son of the family and his wife. We connect these two level with the level above which is the recreational sports space. Project canopies can be mechanically opened and closed depending on sun move or depending on person. The windows of the valley side can be opened and closed so that windows become a terrace and the terrace becomes a window. The structure of this system is a cable structure."
