Castellfollit de la Roca, Catalonia

Situated on a narrow basalt rock face in Catalonia, tucked between the Fluviá and Toronell Rivers, this village dates back to the Middle Ages. Approximately 1,000 inhabitants still live there, in an area of less than a square kilometre.

Fallingwater, Pennsylvania



Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater is built into a mountainside and perched over a series of picturesque waterfalls. Wright did such a good job of meshing the home with the surrounding landscape, some of the boulders upon which it is built actually protrude into the interior.

Stahl House, Hollywood Hills

In 1959, Buck Stahl bought a piece of cliffside overlooking Los Angeles for less than $14,000. He envisioned a residence made of glass that would offer panoramic views of the city below. 


It took a while, but he finally found an architect mad enough to give it a try. The resulting house, built by the now-famous Pierre Koenig, is a marvel of gravity-defying design.

Socotra Island, Indian Ocean




The houses seem to spring directly from the rock, and are packed in so tightly there are no roads--only paths--between them.

HP Tree House, Australia


This gorgeous Australian residence, designed by MMP Architects, is meant to disturb the forest as little as possible. Which explains why the structure is lifted above the sloping terrain using a galvanized steel support framework.
