about
A house on the water, written in stone.
Rivera Residences is conceived as a single architectural gesture. Four pavilions, each with its own character, share one ambition: to make the everyday feel deliberate.
The Vision
A garden first, a building second.
The masterplan begins with the trees. Eight hectares of native park were drawn before a single wall was placed, so that every residence opens onto something living.
"We did not want to build the loudest building on the lake. We wanted to build the quietest."
— Architect, lead studio
The Developer
Three generations of patient work.
A family-owned house, founded in 1962, working only on a handful of projects at a time. Every drawing, every fitting, every choice of stone is approved by the same hand.
Design Philosophy
Restraint as luxury.
No flourish for its own sake. Plain materials, beautifully made. A short list of details, repeated with absolute precision. The result is a calm that you can feel before you can name it.
Our values
Three commitments.
Ecological
Geothermal heating, native planting, water-positive landscape design. Built to last a century.
Living
Light, air, and proportion. Rooms drawn around how the day actually unfolds.
Community
Shared library, garden, and table. A place where neighbours become friends.
