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.

  • 11th St Residence

    Situated on a triple-lot in Boulder’s Newlands neighborhood, this 3200 SF home was designed for a young couple looking to start a family and develop a property well-positioned for future resale in the Boulder real estate market. Our challenge was to preserve as much of the yard as possible while creating a 4BR, 3.5BA home that grouped master suite and kids’ bedrooms on a single floor, and accommodated a private guest suite, ample living areas, open kitchen, and detached garage with small studio space above. The gabled-roof design and divided light windows nod to the vernacular of adjacent properties while charred and stained cypress siding offers a distinctly contemporary tone. A long, horizontal volume stretches across the front perimeter of the property, concealing the large outdoor space behind. The design relies on standard wood framing to optimize budget without compromising form, and allows owners ample room to both grow their family and enjoy a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
