Modscape’s Cliff House in Australia is the definition of living life on the edge

Australian architecture specialist, Modscape, is pushing boundaries with Cliff House, a remarkable luxury waterfront real estate concept with a connection to the ocean below

‘The unique positioning also gives the home’s residents an incredible connection to the ocean below, while alleviating construction problems associated with building on uneven rock.’

Modscape’s Cliff House in Australia is The Definition of Living Life on The Edge

Live life on the edge, they say. And Modscape’s Cliff House literally achieves that. Australian architecture specialists, Modscape Concept, has designed a thrilling five story vacation home that clings on a cliff’s edge over looking the south pacific ocean.

‘The unique positioning also gives the home’s residents an incredible connection to the ocean below, while alleviating construction problems associated with building on uneven rock.’ said Modscape Concept. Indeed, jutting from the top of the rock face like a strange extension of the rocks, Modscape’s Cliff House in Australia is a literal slice of luxury waterfront real estate with ‘an absolute connection with the ocean’.

Looks dangerous yet exciting, this extraordinary home overlooks the coast of Australia and it is definitely a luxurious view to wake up to. Many would question how this residential is built at one glance and engineered steel pins is the answer.

 

The 3-bedroom house would have just a single entrance and this would be via the carport, situated on the top floor of the property. The owners would get to each level of the home via an elevator, one of which would come with an en suite bathroom in the bedroom, a separate bathroom, dining room, lounge, kitchen, spa and an area for a BBQ.

Modscape takes its name from its signature modular design style, rooted in sustainability and speed. Modscape was challenged to rethink its typical modular design for Cliff House due to its remote location on the coast of Australia. Of course, the environmental conditions was considered. Leading architect Maxwell Hutchinson told the BBC the unconventional design was a feasible one despite the threat of coastal erosion.

It’s one epic real estate development but  unfortunately still a concept by Modscape. It is designed to be built from pre-fabricated modules stacked onto each other like Lego blocks and like barnacles clinging to the hulls of ships, the Modscape Cliff House is poetically analogous to the waterfront lifestyle.

A tour inside the luxurious Twin Palms Sungai Long residences

For seven decades, acclaimed developer Lum Chang has created many dream homes. Its latest project is nothing short of exceptional – Twin Palms Sungai Long.

Located at the south of Cheras, Malaysia, this area has seen a rise in the number of shopping centres and retail outlets, particularly as the Malaysian economy continued its strong growth momentum in 2017. In 2007, it began constructing its first five phases comprising of 300 plus landed units.

Now, Twin Palms is moving forward with its next two phases (a combination of semi-detached and bungalow units): Westiara and Latania. As those botanically savvy would have realised, these phases are named after two species of palm trees. Indeed, the name Twin Palms itself is an anagram of nine species of palm trees: Tsara, Westiara, Indica, Naria, Palmyra, Areca, Latania, Maya and Sierra. In turn, these also refer to each phase of the project’s launch.

LATANIA AND WESTERIA

Twin Palms Sungai Long is made up of a collection of landed properties: super-link homes, semi-detached and bungalow homes.

At Latania and Westiara, you will find luxurious and elegant semi-detached and bungalow homes built along quiet, tree-lined streets. With three storeys of generous spaces and a large driveway for parking three cars side-by-side, these homes are perfect for multi-generation living.

For Latania, these prestigious homes come in built-up options ranging from 3,371 sq ft to 4,017 sq ft. 28 units were launched in May 2017 from a price of RM 1.65 million.

Meanwhile, Westiara bungalows will be launched in August 2018, and will feature 19 units ranging from 4,453 sq ft to 10,052 sq ft. Prices start from RM 2.8 million.

 

GATES, NOT WALLS

At first glance, living in a gated community evokes a certain closed, walled-off atmosphere; yet it offers spacious parks and walkways to roam around the estate’s manicured gardens.

A well-secured home is a haven for all, especially those with little ones. Twin Palms Sungai Long offers strict 24/7 security and surveillance, with perimeter CCTV surrounding the entire development, 24-hour patrolling and access cards required at every entry and exit points. Furthermore, gated communities mean less traffic.

With a guardhouse acting as a stop point, and with Jalan Palma being the only road that winds lazily around Twin Palms, visitors and residents alike need not fear vehicles turning recklessly from busy main roads into the quiet neighbourhood.

Those with young ones will also benefit from this increased safety and security. Thus, residents are thus able to come home after a long day’s grind to a tranquil and safe domicile to unwind and recharge.

RESORT-STYLE LIVING

Twin Palms aims to create a resort-style living environment for its residents. As a resort home, the estate affords sylvan views of its manicured gardens and tree-lined walkways.

For elderly residents, a leisurely walk around the park after dinner beckons. The lush greenery surrounding the park is part of a decade’s work of nurturing the natural landscape around Twin Palms. As an all-encompassing sanctuary, residents are also able to socialise with each other through purposeful events that the management will hold frequently for the community.

Such community-based activities will include the Twin Palms Family Day, Scavenger Hunts, Get Together Makan- Makan, Dato’ Joey Yap Feng Shui Talk, Twin Palms Chinese New Year Festivities, etc.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

For families, having to commute in and out of the estate for work and play scenarios will be a main deciding factor when purchasing a Twin Palm unit.

But take heart as the estate is close to SILK highway, Grand Saga Cheras-Kajang Expressway, Lekas Highway, and the upcoming East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) due to be completed in September 2019. Driving to town, sending the children to school or going out of the estate for work appointments will be a breeze.

SELF-CONTAINED LIVING

The infinity pool and children’s wading pool will be perfect for families to bond over swimming and other water-based activities. Adults can head to the glass-lined gymnasium to burn calories or just chill with a mocktail at the poolside café.

The spa – sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi – is another ideal zone to relax and sweat it out after a hard day’s work. Other features for sporting activities such as badminton, table tennis, and basketball can be enjoyed at the multi-purpose hall. The well-designed children’s playground will ensure tiny tots get their dose of outdoor physical benefits.
