The Berman House by Harry Seidler

Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking a rocky ravine, the concrete property designed Harry Seidler is based in Joadja, New South Wales, Australia. It has a suspended living room with soaring balcony, stunning pool and spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.

Utilising the site’s ample sandstone boulders, support and projecting screen walls anchor the house into the rugged terrain. A dam wall between two rock cliffs creates a deep natural swimming pool with an ample water supply in the case of bushfire. The house is built entirely of fireproof materials. Roof water is collected into a central tank under the house.
