Project Overview
Hidden
Ridge
is
a
private
residence
carved
into
a
narrow
cliffside
site,
designed
as
a
seamless
continuation
of
the
natural
ridge
rather
than
an
object
placed
upon
it.
The
architecture
follows
the
terrain
with
quiet
precision,
allowing
the
house
to
disappear
into
the
landscape
while
opening
itself
to
expansive
views.
Concept
Concept
The project is deeply shaped by cultural context.
Traditional
proportions
and
ornamental
codes
from
Riyadh
are
reinterpreted
into
a
restrained,
contemporary
language.
Subtle
patterned
screens
and
layered
facades
reference
local
architectural
heritage,
providing
privacy
while
filtering
light
and
embedding
cultural
identity
into
the
spatial
experience.
Result
The
architecture
responds
directly
to
the
complexity
of
the
site.
Volumes
are
staggered
along
the
cliff’s
natural
contours,
with
terraces
and
transitions
adapting
to
the
slope
to
minimize
environmental
disruption.
The
result
is
a
composition
that
feels
anchored,
calm,
and
naturally
integrated
into
its
rocky
setting.
A
carefully
selected
material
palette
reinforces
this
approach.
Travertine
and
limestone
establish
a
grounded,
timeless
base,
while
copper
accents
introduce
warmth
and
a
subtle
sense
of
refinement.
Together,
they
allow
the
residence
to
blend
into
the
ridge
during
the
day
and
gently
reflect
shifting
light
conditions,
enhancing
its
quiet
presence
within
the
landscape.
