Horizon Fold House is a completed architectural project developed for Solterra Living Developments, conceived as a contemporary residence embedded within its natural landscape. The building is defined by layered, flowing roof planes that follow the terrain, combining stone, timber, terracotta-toned surfaces, and integrated glazing. The architecture unfolds horizontally, minimizing visual impact while maximizing connection to the surrounding environment.

The building is defined by layered, flowing roof planes that follow the terrain, combining stone, timber, terracotta-toned surfaces, and integrated glazing. The architecture unfolds horizontally, minimizing visual impact while maximizing connection to the surrounding environment.
The structure is organized as a series of stepped volumes that adapt to the slope, creating sheltered terraces and panoramic interior spaces. Large openings dissolve boundaries between inside and outside, while the stone base anchors the building to the ground. Water features and native landscaping are incorporated as part of the architectural composition, reinforcing a sense of continuity with the site.

Horizon Fold House reflects a neo-vernacular approach where traditional materials are reinterpreted through contemporary construction methods. The result is a residence that feels grounded, timeless, and deeply connected to its setting, balancing modern comfort with ecological and spatial sensitivity.
