This Unbelievable House in Australia Seems to Float Above Sea (10 picture)
Using tricks of perspective and elegant modern architecture, the architects behind the Australia F2 Architecture firm have created a floating luxury rental home that appears to hover above the coast of Southern Australia.
The illusion is spoiled from any other approach than the bridge at the entryway, but the building is still no less appealing. From another angle, it becomes clear that the building is built on a pole that lifts it 40m (or about 130 feet) above the slope below it. Once you’ve crossed the bridge to the building itself (and provided you aren’t afraid of heights), you’ll be greeted with a spectacular and commanding view of Fairhaven Beach and the Great Ocean Road below.
The building can be rented for between AUD$440 and 1,220 a night, and it’s not kid- or pet-friendly, so it’s definitely for those looking for a luxurious getaway for two!
1 The Australia F2 Architecture Firm
Australian architects created a magnificent rental house on a beach in Southern Australia that seems to float above the sea.
2 The Home's Illusion
The illusion is deceptive and the experience disappears as soon as you walk away from the bridge that connects the house to the ground.
3 Home Sits On A Pole
Looking at the house from this perspective, you can see that it's built on a 130 ft. tall pole that helps create the perfect illusion.
4 The Views!
The luxurious home provides a breathtaking view of Fairhaven Beach and the Great Ocean Road below in Southern Australia.
5 A 'Floaty' Feel
Looking out at the views perched from above, one can't help feel as if they're floating even while standing on solid ground within the home. The living room's fireplace even floats while suspended from the ceiling..
6 A Simple Modern Design
Clean and uncluttered, the designers set out to create a contemporary interior with modern furniture that carries through with the home's exterior.
7 Spectacular Frameless Windows
The home is adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, offering a 180 degree view of the Southern Ocean.
8 The Home's Bridge
The only access is by a narrow concrete bridge, and as visitors reach the home, the entrance is recessed into metal clad walls that face the hillside.
9 Wraparound Balconies
There are also wraparound balconies that offer panoramic views of Fairhaven Beach and the hillside. The home's scale compared to its landscape makes it appear almost modest in proportion.
10 A Romantic Holiday
The rental is more of a luxurious suite than family accommodations, it's the perfect holiday destination to experience an ocean escape with solitude. Rents start at $359 - $997 US dollars for an overnight stay.
