The Mushroom House

In the pine and dune country near Figueira da Foz, a home turns its back on the straight line. Curved walls, soft northern light, rooms that seem grown rather than built.

We came to capture a house that refuses corners. Every wall leans into the next, every doorway is an arch, and the whole structure sits in the landscape the way a mushroom sits in moss, like it pushed up from underneath rather than landing on top.

What the camera kept finding was light. The curves catch it slowly, bending it around the rooms through the day, so the house never looks the same twice. This video is about what happens when an architect trusts a single idea, softness, and follows it all the way down to the door handles.
