Inspired with this piece of wisdom, we've taken the liberty of collecting stunning waterfront houses that might tickle your fancy. Keep in mind that the Philippines has over 7,000 islands, which means that there's no shortage of decent waterfront spots to build your home in!

1. The tower by the sea

The Pole House in Australia, conceptualized by F2 Architecture stands on a sturdy concrete tower and enjoys a breathtaking view of the coastline. It's outlined by glass panels for its railings which are definitely not for the acrophobic. The interiors are well-lit by natural light because of the wide glass windows so if you're not feeling the salty air by the balcony, you can still marvel at it from inside. The furnishings are also fabulously sophisticated. Think of it as a refreshing getaway.

Its interiors are made up of nothing less than impeccable contemporary furnishings and design that can match any cliff-built resort. You can sunbathe by the sleek terraces or swim on its 15-meter swimming pool too! The clear blue of the sea is also wonderfully contrasted by the surroundings green landscape.

Over to the Mediterranean, French architects from AABE worked on something more minimalist and sharp. Polished in a clean white to black palette, the house on a cliff stands as proof that you don't need fancy elements embellished on your house to appreciate nature and life. Instead, you simply have to let nature to manifest its beauty. The dwellers here surely took that to heart and even wanted to swim closer to the deep blue by having this seamless infinity pool.  And we shall not forget to mention that the inside also looks impeccably minimalist and chic.

6. Dark and bright wooden house

Called the Haus am Thurnberger Stausee or House on Lake Thurnberger, this wooden lakeside house in black is probably  the most understated one we've listed here.
