    A stunning cliff-top property with glass walls supported by a wooden pillar is set to become the holiday home of a surfing fanatic.The property looks out over the Atlantic ocean from a high perch on the coast of Portugal.The 270-degree glass structure , called The Air, is nestled into the rock and stands jutting slightly in front of the cliff.The architects behind it , Ukraine-based Yakusha Design ,say the property creates a sense of “impossible architecture”. A spokeswoman said:” Just like a lighthouse, it is confronting the sea breeze on everyday basis.”The idea behind this minimalistic cliff cabin is to create a feeling of weightlessness of the architecture overlooking the ocean. The building is set on the vertical pillar and secured with the foundation made of recycled concrete. The central pillar takes up small internal space and, at the same time, includes most engineering and communications, maximizing the view over the Atlantic. Privacy is achieved by an integrated system of window blinds around the perimeter.The minimalist open-concept interior of the 48 sq. m. cabin includes only an essential furniture.
