Emma House / HW Studio

Years ago, inspired by the Paula Rego Museum designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura, we had a transformative experience that profoundly influenced our vision for Casa Emma. Entering the museum, we felt an immediate, indescribable serenity under one of its pyramids, where light filtered softly through a high skylight. Golden rays gently bathed every surface, casting shadows and reflections that gave the space a unique warmth. It was as though the light itself embraced and protected us, creating a profound sense of peace.
