Who This Author Is

Alejandro Bahamon explores the interface between dwelling and landscape in Houses on the Edge, a collection that examines homes set against dramatic or precarious sites. The book focuses on how architecture responds to cliffs, coastlines, and steep terrain, pairing striking photography with concise descriptions of design strategies and challenges.

Bahamon highlights inventive solutions architects employ to negotiate limits of site and climate: cantilevers, retaining systems, stepped plans, and glazed facades that frame views while addressing safety and access. The narrative centers on practical decisions and visual outcomes, offering readers a clear sense of how context shapes contemporary residential design.
