HORIZONT 02 / ROUND HOMES
ROUND HOMES
PANORAMIC LIVING. BALANCED BY DESIGN.
A home shaped around openness, natural light and a continuous relationship with its surroundings.
The HORIZONT Round Home explores residential architecture through a softer, more balanced geometry. Its rounded form is intended to create panoramic outlooks, fluid circulation and a distinctive sense of connection between interior spaces and the landscape around them.
PANORAMIC FORM
RADIAL LIVING
CONTINUOUS VIEWS
ARCHITECTURE & GEOMETRY
DESIGNED FROM THE CENTRE OUT.
The HORIZONT Round Home uses circular geometry to create a different relationship between rooms, views and landscape. Rather than being organised around a conventional rectangular footprint, the concept is intended to encourage fluid movement and a more panoramic experience of the surroundings.
RADIAL PLANNING
Interior spaces can be organised around a central geometry, creating a different sense of movement and connection between rooms.
PANORAMIC GLAZING
Curved glazed elevations are intended to open the home toward multiple viewpoints rather than a single front-facing outlook.
A HOME WITHOUT A CONVENTIONAL FRONT OR BACK.
CONTINUOUS FORM
Roof, façade and landscape relationship are intended to read as one coherent architectural composition.
BALANCED PROPORTIONS
The circular concept is intended to create a calm, composed residential form that can sit naturally within landscaped surroundings.
EXTERIOR CURVATURE / GLASSED ELEVATION
RADIAL INTERIOR / FLUID CIRCULATION
THE EXPERIENCE CHANGES AS YOU MOVE AROUND THE HOME.
INSIDE THE ROUND HOME
LIVING WITHOUT A SINGLE DIRECTION.
The Round Home is intended to create a more panoramic living experience. Curved glazing, radial planning and softer transitions between spaces can allow the home to respond to views and daylight from multiple directions.
PANORAMIC LIVING
Curved glazing is intended to open principal living areas toward a much wider field of view.
RADIAL FLOW
Spaces can connect around the geometry of the home rather than along a conventional straight corridor.
CENTRAL GATHERING
Living, dining and kitchen spaces can be organised around a shared central zone for a stronger sense of connection.
LIGHT FROM MORE THAN ONE SIDE
The circular form can allow daylight to enter from multiple orientations throughout the day.
PERFORMANCE & THE HORIZONT STANDARD
A BALANCED FORM. A SERIOUS STANDARD.
The Round Home is being developed as more than a distinctive circular form. Its envelope, glazing, energy systems and material strategy are intended to work together within the wider HORIZONT Standard.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENVELOPE
The rounded building envelope is intended to combine insulation, airtightness and durable materials within one coordinated system.
PANORAMIC GLAZING STRATEGY
Large curved glazed areas are intended to balance daylight, outlook, thermal performance and comfort.
SOLAR INTEGRATION
The circular roof is intended to support photovoltaic integration as part of the overall architectural design.
COMFORT & VENTILATION
Fabric performance, glazing, ventilation and building systems are intended to support stable, healthy internal conditions.
FUTURE-READY SYSTEMS
Smart controls, EV readiness, renewable technology and adaptable building systems are intended to support changing household needs over time.
THE HORIZONT STANDARD IS INTENDED TO GIVE THE ROUND HOME PERFORMANCE TO MATCH ITS ARCHITECTURE.
All performance targets remain subject to detailed design, engineering, testing, certification, Building Regulations and project-specific requirements.
ROUND HOMES IN PLACE
CIRCULAR HOMES. MORE FLEXIBLE COMMUNITIES.
The Round Home is intended to respond differently to each site. Its circular geometry allows homes to be rotated, grouped and positioned around landscape, outlook and shared spaces without relying on one conventional front-facing orientation.
ORIENTATION WITHOUT A FIXED FRONT
The circular form allows each home to respond individually to sunlight, privacy, views and landscape.
CLUSTERS & SHARED LANDSCAPE
Round Homes could be grouped around gardens, green spaces or pedestrian areas to create more social and landscape-led development patterns.
CONSISTENT IDENTITY, DIFFERENT POSITIONS
Homes can change orientation while maintaining a recognisable HORIZONT Round architectural language.
ONE CIRCULAR LANGUAGE. MANY WAYS TO SHAPE A PLACE.
