Want!!
Will there be a(n intentionally) submersible model?
Thatâs what we do in Australia. If the fauna doesnât kill you, our architects are there to pick up the slack.
Make the house seaworthy. When it eventually falls into the water, itâs a boat.
The house would have to have a name change from Dunroamin to Startbobbin.
Thereâs a stretch of these houses visible from Beverly Glen, south of Sherman Oaks. The fronts of the houses, on Beverly Ridge, look like this:
But from the back, theyâre way up here:
Wellington has a lot of architecture like that. I always worry what itâll look like after âthe big oneâ hits.

I think most of these predate the '94 Northridge quake, but my brother lives in those same Hollywood Hills, and his next-door neighborâs hillside home slid about 60 yards down the hill in that quake. The neighbor woke up in his bed, outside.
Canât say Iâm charmed by the landscaping. Or the view, in that particular photo anyway.
It is a bit stark, granted.
(although apparently theyâve planted over 70,000 trees)
But the view from that cliff house wouldnât be so good when your house fell into it.
Or a bit Stark?
Somebody is seriously ignorant of coastal geology.
Thereâs more to architecture than design.
The original photo the house has been superimposed onto looks like it was taken somewhere along the Great Ocean Road, which as everyone has correctly noted is prone to sudden and massive erosion!
