Cliff Road House
Six rooms in a line, all of them facing the sunset.
The house
Brekke & Aal refused a corridor. The six principal rooms run in a single line along the bluff, each opening into the next, so you move through the house rather than past it. Every one of them faces west.
It is forty-one metres long and one room deep. There is no north-facing habitable space in the building.
