Cliffhanger Terraces comprise pre-assembled seating modules on a steel substructure that can be placed on an existing base. The various standardised modules are 120 cm – 47” wide and afford the freedom to create terraces or platforms with one or more levels and different back arrangements. Developed in cooperation with HEWITT architects in Seattle, Cliffhanger Terraces build on the design of Cliffhanger Benches.

With Cliffhanger Terraces, various configurations can be created for a wide variety of purposes; shallow seats with an ‘active’ back at an inclination angle of 102°, or deep seats with a lounge back at an inclination angle of 130°.

Cliffhanger slats are mounted from above via small recesses between the slats. Side walls made from CorTen or hot-dip galvanised steel can be used to close the modules at the ends.

The TWIN Concept

Innovations in the field of sustainable materials, including biobased substances and composites made from residual waste, provide opportunities to make the Streetlife Collection more sustainable. Based on these innovations, Streetlife’s TWIN concept offers a series of sustainable materials which provide alternatives to the original hardwood options. By adding this new identity to our product families, the TWIN concept offers landscape designers and architects more freedom of choice.

TWIN option for this product

  • Bamboo Brown

Bamboo Brown is made from an extremely fast-growing, giant bamboo species with a very high capacity to absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Its fast growth rate ensures that stems can be harvested after four to five years. The process of compressing the long bamboo fibres under high temperature and pressure give this material its deep brown colour. Over time, Bamboo Brown ages with exposure to light and air. The visible fibres give the smooth surface attractive variations in colour and structure. Bamboo Brown is carbon neutral and can be recycled into chipboard or can be as last used in end-of-life as fuel for bioenergy production.
