5Clifftop House by MacKay-Lyons Architects

This 960-square-foot wooden cabin extends over the edge of a rocky cliff near the Atlantic coastline of Nova Scotia, Canada.

The cabin is cantilevered over metal stilts and only a small section lies on the ground, which creates a modest cliff-hanging structure. The interiors are bright and spacious – thanks to a high ceiling.There is also a large south-facing deck to enjoy in the outdoors.
