The lavish Cliff House is situated – as the name suggests – on a cliff with panoramic views towards the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto island, near Auckland, New Zealand. Glass plays an important role in its architecture, keeping it permanently open towards the stunning surroundings. Designed by Fearon Hay Architects, it boasts breathtaking views from all its rooms on both levels.
