With all the imaginative designs nowadays, some people are now looking for more than just the conventional four walls to call their home. One of the contemporary concepts that clearly excites architects’ imaginations is the cliff-face. A concept that led Greek Architects Laertis Antonios Ando Vassiliou and Pantelis Kampouropoulos, the founders of OPA Works, to develop a striking house design called ‘Casa Brutale.’ The pair have designed such a home built inside a sheer cliff face overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Inspired by the powerful concrete style known as brutalism or brutalist architecture, the two Greek architects embedded their luxury brutalist home into a cliff.
