It is not the first time that the Iranian architect and interior designer- Milad Eshtiyaghi has envisioned something out of the box. Recently, SURFACES REPORTER (SR) has covered his visualisation of a white house that floats on the sea. This time the designer envisioned a place suspended dangerously off the edge of the cliff. The ‘Suspended House’ highlights the beauty of its rocky site by completely disconnecting from it. Imagined for Northern California’s coastal region of Mendocino, the project marks a continuation of the architect’s affinity for gravity-defying homes, just like his monumental ‘Mountain House’ that juts out the rocky cliffside.

The architecture firm designed this suspended house to allow people to experience different sensations. While the house hardly touches the land, it creates a sublime feeling of fear and excitement, and its interiors give a sense of relaxation.
The house is designed for a couple.
The dweller would get the ultimate experience of living over a cliff. The house is built in a sloping way because of the climate of the region.
How Is it Suspended?
The firm used two elements to suspend the house- a mast and a set of tension cables. The mast is an essential structural element that secures the place with the help of strong tension cables that support the residence. That higher set of cables withstands the weight of gravity, and the lower cables bear lateral and upward wind forces.
“We designed the mast of the project as someone who has been bended by the opposition and is pulling a rope and The reason for bending the bridge mast to the opposite side is both aesthetics and Increase stability due to gravity,” said the architect.
Inside the House
The bedroom, family living room and studio lie on the southern part of the residence, allowing the dwellers to enjoy the panoramic south views. While the living room, kitchen and dining area occupies the northern part, which overlooks the east and west views.

The firm created holes with a glass surface on the floor of all private and public places that give a downward view of the project, escalating a feel of airy weightlessness as well as of fear. The holes with a glass surface in flooring allow downward views in all public and private spaces.
One can reach the space via a narrow, elevated and slippery footbridge characterised by its glass floor. Altogether, the house is not for the faint-hearted people but adventure seekers.
