The elastic geometries of this house, stretch to reach the edges of the site and its astonishing outlooks and vantage points. The architects Durbach Block, have designed a house clinging to the edge of a cliff, they have it jutting out over the ocean with a 70-metre drop below. It is not simply how the Holman House captures and frames the Pacific and the coast that makes this building so interesting, it is the mastery of space. There is a great interplay of surfaces, combining fineness and roughness, creating subtle contrasts.
