Located within the rugged landscape of the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus, Corten Ridge is conceived as a residence deeply connected to its natural setting. The architecture stretches horizontally across the terrain, allowing the building to sit quietly against the dramatic mountain backdrop while framing uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape.
A sequence of projecting Corten steel volumes defines the façade, creating deep architectural frames around the private spaces. Their warm, weathered surfaces contrast with exposed concrete and expansive glazing, while the central living areas remain transparent and open, strengthening the relationship between interior spaces and the mountains beyond.
At the heart of the composition, a cantilevered swimming pool projects toward the valley, emphasizing the sense of suspension above the landscape. Natural materials, warm interiors and carefully framed views create a residence where architecture, landscape and atmosphere become a single experience.
