Homes drawn
from the land.
We plan every residence around the site's own grade, light, and material — not against it. Thirty-eight years of building into coastlines, ridgelines, and quarry land.
Horizon was founded on a simple objection: that apartment living were being designed for renderings, not for their sites. We begin every commission by reading the land first — its grade, its wind, its geology — then let the house follow. The result is architecture that looks inevitable where it stands, built with materials pulled from as close to the site as possible.
Designing residences shaped by their sites since 1987.
Private homes completed across nine coastlines and ranges.
Aggregate value of completed and active developments.
Recognised for material honesty and site-led planning.
Six residences,
six landscapes.
A working selection of homes in design or under construction. Availability and viewing access vary by project.

Notes from the studio.
Building with the grade, not against it
Why the most durable luxury homes let topography set the plan, not the other way around.
The quiet return of local stone
Quarried material is replacing imported cladding on our last four commissions — here's the case for it.
Designing for one season you'll never see
Coastal homes are drawn for the calm months. We start from the storm instead.

Anything unresolved here, our studio will answer directly — use the form below.
Primarily private residences and small residential developments, typically on sites with meaningful topography — coastlines, ridgelines, and quarry land. We take on a small number of commissions each year so every project has senior attention from concept to handover.
