Overlooking the Limassol seafront, Horizon Residence is much more than a three-bedroom apartment: it is a quiet meditation on light, form, and the fluidity between interior and exterior. Designed by Otomi Studio, this space tells a story of connection — between rooms, between hills and sea, between solidity and lightness. Every element is conceived to dissolve the boundaries between architecture and landscape, creating a sanctuary in constant dialogue with the surrounding nature.
At the heart of the home lies the dining area, anchored by a bold circular table crafted from Red Levante marble. Its earthy red tones, streaked with white veins reminiscent of natural fractures, evoke a tangible connection to the land. Floating above, a square onyx chandelier casts ephemeral patterns of light, mirroring the ever-shifting skies beyond the windows. The interplay between the table’s organic curves and the chandelier’s geometric precision creates a harmonious rhythm of contrasts, while a delicate vertical lattice frames the scene, extending the spatial conversation.
Outside, the terrace enhances and amplifies this sense of continuity. By day, it opens fluidly from the apartment, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. At dusk, it transforms into an intimate sanctuary, where sculptural, ambient lighting meets the natural textures of the furnishings. A wooden dining table and lounge seating strike a balance between structure and softness, creating the perfect setting to contemplate the horizon as the sea dissolves into night and the city lights shimmer in the distance.
In the living room, each element is chosen to evoke a sense of refined comfort. A modular sofa in neutral tones anchors the space, accompanied by an elegant armchair and a marble coffee table whose flowing veins echo the sea beyond. The same vertical lattice seen in the dining area separates without dividing, allowing air and light to flow freely. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the shifting hues of the Mediterranean, bringing the tranquility of the landscape indoors. A custom solid wood frame surrounds the television, adding a handcrafted, warm touch.
The hallway becomes a quiet gallery that connects the spaces with understated elegance. A wall-mounted wooden cabinet serves as a minimalist bookshelf and storage unit, set in contrast to a fractured mirror that multiplies perspectives and refracts light like a kaleidoscope. It is an artistic gesture that transforms the passage into a sculptural experience.
In the bedrooms, design takes on a theatrical and sensual tone. The furniture appears sculptural, while storage solutions are seamlessly integrated, allowing iconic pieces to stand out. Curved headboards envelop the sleeping area with intimacy, and textured fabrics in subdued tones wrap the space in a calm, cocoon-like atmosphere. Beside the window, armchairs are thoughtfully placed to invite stillness—ideal for watching the day fade into night. Above the bed, a delicate chandelier floats like a broken cloud, casting a soft, diffused glow.
Horizon Residence is an invitation to experience architecture as an extension of the landscape, where every detail is designed to celebrate the Mediterranean’s beauty. The dining area forms the interior’s emotional core, while the terrace projects it outward toward the infinite. The result is a sanctuary suspended between light, material, and horizon: a poetic fusion of art and living.
