Ridge House is conceived as a quiet relationship between architecture, landscape and everyday life. Strong concrete forms frame natural light, distant views and moments of retreat, creating a residence that feels grounded, open and deliberately connected to its surroundings.
The plan runs as a single bar along the contour, with the living rooms opening south onto a court cut into the mass. The section shows the floor held clear of the falling ground, so the house stands on the slope rather than sitting in it.
