Once a vibrant vacation retreat filled with simple cottages and outdoor life, the land still carries the memory of leisure, community, and a deep connection to the outdoors.

The new home draws on that same sense of enjoyment and belonging. Its form recalls the quiet presence of a classic gatehouse, serving both as a welcoming threshold and a practical space for vehicles and site storage. The ground level is open and generous, allowing for flexible use and effortless conversion into spaces for gathering and celebration.

Above, a private residence rests lightly on this plinth, looking out across the approach and over the river valley. Simple in structure yet deliberate in placement, the home commands a broad view while maintaining a sense of calm retreat. Inside, the upper living spaces balance privacy from the road with openness to the hills beyond, inviting fresh air, light, and outdoor life into every day.

Riverside Glade is both shelter and outlook, shaped by the land and its legacy of welcome.
