stuff we drool about

Casa Mavra

Casa Mavra is less about decoration and more about presence. The use of raw materials and controlled geometry puts it closer to projects like the Shoreline House, where architecture works with the landscape rather than trying to dominate it.

The sequence into the home is what stands out. That long approach, defined by a rising wall and water running alongside the stairs, creates a sense of transition that feels deliberate and slow. It is a similar kind of spatial storytelling seen in places like the Wenatchee River Cabin, where movement through the structure is just as important as the destination.

Inside, the balance between heavy concrete and open views keeps everything grounded but never closed off. Patios carved into the structure bring in light and vegetation, softening the overall feel without breaking the architectural language.
