This home by Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects, or SAOTA, is absolutely mind blowing. Situated on a cliff side over looking the Atlantic Ocean, and built on the site of an old World War II bunker, Villa Sow is a result of precision and careful analysis. Part of the bunker was used to create what is now an underground cinema that opens up into a water courtyard in the entrance of the home. Building on top of such an immaculate cliff called for careful consideration of the eroding cliff face, and was structured accordingly. The solution was a building design that seemed to float off of the cliffs edge.

This is an outstanding house located in Johannesburg South Africa, done by Nico Van Der Meulen Architects. The project is a remodel of a 1950′s house in Bedfordview, built on five-story drop. My favorite feature, the infinity edge pool, was designed by Werner Van Der Muelen to extend over the steep fall and lends itself to amazing views. The home is wide open and spacious with frameless stacking doors creating a seamless indoor/outdoor sensation, with the pool protruding into the living room with the doors wide open.
