Designed by Light | Casa Emma

ByMyProperty Life

Casa Emma is a work that emphasizes light and space, inspired by the Paula Rego Museum. Located on a 13 x 32 foot lot, the house uses wood as its central material, reflecting Purépecha tradition. With an open layout that integrates the living room, dining room, and kitchen, it offers a warm and fluid environment.

One of the highlights is the lighting that descends from the ceiling, creating a serene and dynamic atmosphere. The interior features a mezzanine that maximizes the use of space. Casa Emma not only pays homage to the beauty of light but also to the local culture, inviting occupants to form a deep connection with their surroundings.

  • W Residence

    This is a 150㎡apartment in Taiwan with a strip of horizontal window looking out to the city. The new owner is a three-generation family. The elder favors grandeur, lush marble and rich wood grain; the young couple prefers bright space, light color and relaxing atmosphere. The only common they have is that they need storage and wish to have as much space as possible for children to move freely. We create a neutral background with white ceiling and light wooden floor in which stone and wood-veneer blocks are placed. These blocks are positioned to define space without separate it and serve as storage unit. Sliding-doors and movable-walls convert the space, and hide away secret balcony or chamber in each room. Light flows through the space in between these blocks, and so do the owner’s children. One sees not only the texture of the natural materials, but the spread of light and the panoramic view of the city beyond.
