Riverwave Residence

The 7,000 m² residence is situated on a unique forest plot bordered by a river on both sides. This natural environment creates a sense of complete privacy, akin to being on an island.

This project represents a new phase in the evolution of our signature architecture, exploring ways to integrate organic forms into contemporary private architecture. The concept of smooth, wavy roofs serves as a metaphor for the movement of water, resembling a natural cascade. This dynamic roofing design defines the boundary between private and public spaces, ensuring privacy while protecting the bedrooms and bathrooms from external views, all while maintaining a visual dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Fully panoramic glazing emphasizes the transparency and openness of the residence's interior, creating a powerful fusion between interior and exterior.

A notable feature of the project is the sculptural roof made of natural slate. Its geometry and materials are inspired by the natural context, reflecting the soft lines of the riverbanks and the smooth contours of the landscape.

The spatial structure of the residence is built on principles of openness and integration. The building is conceived as a single volume rather than being divided into separate blocks, enhancing the overall architectural integrity. The central courtyard, which preserves existing pine trees, serves as a key compositional element. The design aimed to protect these trees while also integrating the natural landscape as much as possible into the living space. The panoramic glazing allows the natural surroundings to be perceived as an extension of the interior, making it an integral part of everyday life.

The boundaries between architecture and the outside world are redefined through the use of organic forms and the dichotomy between intimacy and openness. The interior spaces are filled with natural light, while the building's exterior shapes reflect the site's natural topography.

The Riverwave residence embodies our philosophy of creating a unique architecture where aesthetics are inseparable from functionality, sustainability, and deep interaction with the surrounding context. This project is more than just a house; it offers a new perspective on the relationship between humanity, nature, and architecture.
