Spectacular panoramic glazing creates a
sense of allegiance between interior and
exterior. As a key compositional element,
an interior central courtyard preserves
existing pine trees, putting a thriving
piece of forest at the heart of the home.
"The building's formation was guided by
the desire to maintain these trees and
to integrate the natural landscape into
the living space as much as possible,"
notes Kerimov, speaking to a broader
commitment to biophilic design.
Following the firm's successful Hidden
House project in Portugal—a winner of 17
international awards—Riverwave "marks
a new chapter for us," Kerimov says. "We
believe this project can truly transform the
concept of future homes, making them just
as cozy while being more harmoniously
connected with nature."

a forest, or at the riverbank, where, despite
lacking walls or a roof, one can still feel
remarkably private." On the first level, there
are spaces designated for public functions,
including a living room, a kitchen with a
dining area, a lounge, a home theater, a
gym, and a spa, along with utility rooms
and an exhibition garage. The second
level is more private, featuring the master
bedroom, a master bathroom, guest suites
with bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as
childrens' rooms and a study. With vertical
connectivity present on each of the three
sides of the residence, the entire space is
open and interconnected, furthering the
feeling of spaciousness and flow.
The residence's relationship to nature is
especially conspicuous. Most notably in
that dynamic roofline. Made of natural slate,
this design-defining feature reflects the
soft lines of the riverbank and the smooth
contours of the landscape, with wavy
cascades strategically placed for privacy.
