"The design incorporates a balance of structured geometry and organic elements, allowing Casa Calma to seamlessly blend into its tranquil coastal and forest environment."
"Casa Calma's architecture emphasizes a relationship between the built form and nature, as the landscape interacts with the house over time, softening its architectural presence."
Casa Calma, designed by Araja Studio, is a serene retreat located between the beach and a pine forest in Portugal. The structure is characterized by four key elements: two horizontal planes for the floor and roof and two vertical planes for the walls. These elements, unified in materiality, incorporate sand-toned finishes, white stucco, glass, aluminum, and wood. The design adapts to the site's slope, strategically positioning openings to enhance natural light and ventilation, creating a dialogue between its architectural form and the surrounding landscape.
