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. 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."
