Extreme Classic Offbeat Homes: Hillside Living
This week’s addition of Classic Offbeat is extreme, as in extremely classic. Way back, during the very first week of Offbeat, Kevin featured this dream of a building.
Living within a hill is major extreme. Kevin’s classic post about this hillside housing development in Liuzhou, China, is well worth checking out. More spec and photo links are included.

Happy new year! Hope it’s more offbeat than the last! :)
I personally want to know:
a) What the inside of these places look like; and
b) How on god’s green earth do you get to the tippy top ones? Is there a zig-zag elevator? A curvy, steep path? Or perhaps a stairway inside the mountain?
Just wonderin’ on a Tuesday…

I love it! It reminds me a lot of ‘Habitat’, the housing development that was created in Montreal in 1967 for Expo 67. Wonderful then, still wonderful now!
