Architectural styles do have the power to arouse curiosity while triggering spasms of incalculable excitement within us. What manner of house, one might well ask, that has that potency to provoke such stimuli? Look no further.

Securely ensconced on the outer limits of this cliff, from its dizzying heights overlooking the sea, outside of Ocho Rios, is this one-year-old, ultra-modernistic spectacle on a quarter-of-an-acre, spanning 7,500 square feet of hospitable space. It is designed with a defined concrete slab roof, spacious balconies lined with a glass-railing system, attractive exterior stone-clad surfaces, plenteous glass openings, and sculptured walls.

The magnificent structure enfolds six bedrooms (some with walk-in closets), and six en suite marble and quartz-finished bathrooms, with the principal having its own waterproofed wet room in a spa setting, flaunting his and her rain showers, and a completely separate toilet room. An upper-floor sitting room is fully integrated.

The two-floor height living and dining areas (with connecting flying-bridges above), and a glass-railed floating staircase, join a fabulous quartz commercial kitchen, and a powder room. Be blown away by the sunken movie theatre, equipped with digital surround sound and reclining cinema-style seats.

The galvanizing outdoors beckon not only with sea views, but also with its infinity-edge swimming pool and hydrotherapeutic hot tub, and a trellised entertainment area. Another wow!
