Casa Forma
A hillside apartment where clean geometry meets warm timber, tactile plaster and long views over the port.
Project Overview
The brief was to open up a dark, compartmentalised apartment for a couple who host often. Our response focused on one continuous living space with clear geometry, creating a home that feels generous, bright and easy to share.

01
The Brief
The apartment sat on the ninth floor with remarkable views that the original plan hid behind a closed kitchen and a formal dining room. The owners cook every day and host friends most weekends. They asked for a space that could hold twelve people comfortably yet still feel intimate for two. Humidity and salt air from the coast also shaped every material decision.
02
The Concept
We joined the kitchen, dining and living areas into a single room framed by a long timber wall. A sculpted plaster island anchors the centre and doubles as a serving bench. Soft curves at the thresholds guide movement toward the windows, where the view becomes the main event.
03
Materials & Details
Teak veneer, mineral plaster, brushed brass and a sand-toned terrazzo floor were chosen for their resistance to coastal humidity. A deep upholstered sofa in bouclé fabric softens the geometry. Warm 2700K lighting keeps evenings relaxed.
04
The Result
Casa Forma now hosts dinners for twelve without feeling crowded. The view is visible from every seat, and the finishes have held up beautifully through two monsoon seasons.
