Stone Used
Cliff Top House
Sumich Chaplin Architects
From street to sea, Jura Beige Limestone wraps the architecture of this cliff-top house by Sumich Chaplin Architects, enveloping the facade in a warm, tactile materiality.
Overview
From the street, Cliff Top House sits quietly within its coastal setting, opening towards distant sea views. A series of flowing courtyards and indoor–outdoor spaces shape the architecture, unified by the extensive use of Jura Beige Limestone.
Used across the home as both cladding and a defining architectural material, the limestone introduces warmth, texture and continuity, complementing the clean palette of plaster and timber. At the heart of the design, a seaward courtyard frames a pool and sculptural gazebo, which cantilevers dramatically towards the cliff edge.
Jura Beige Limestone anchors the material palette, creating a sense of permanence and connection between the home’s architecture and the coastal landscape.
