BBC News - Would you live in a house clinging to a cliff?

Would you need planning permission for it? And would you get it?
How much would the land cost. Although in a sense there isn't any land needed, only that to hold the steel beams that jut into the cliff.

Nice find.

As it now stands, The Razor Residence has a construction cost in excess of $34 million.

Sold at $14,097,000 it says near the end, so not such a good investment for whoever built it.

Mebbe they offset the costs a smidgin out of this lot:

Serving as the backdrop for numerous TV spots, The Razor Residence has appeared as a venue in national advertising campaigns for fashion design house, Calvin Klein, and the infamous James Bond inspired Visa Black Card commercials.

Wow, that is breathtaking, though following the advice given by Mudskipper's contribution I'd probably spend a lot of time putting plasters on my bloody forehead and ringing a glazier.

I reckon one would have to be completely crackers to go anywhere near it, let alone live there. One false move while parking, or walking around outside a bit tipsy, would be your last!

Could be worse. Imagine cracking one off. You'd be found the next morning surrounded by damp Kleenex and beached fishes. Very unsavoury reading for your relatives in the papers.

It wouldn't work in the UK.

Imagine driving home in the fog.
