Unique shape house

Mario Martins Atelier have designed this modern and sculptural house in Luz, Portugal, that's based on the geometric shape of an ellipse.

The Manta Rays project is thus built 100% in bio-based materials, it is easily removable and reassemblable like a giant meccano, to better respect the Balinese site in which it is set up. In this biomimetic approach, using a minimum of material, mixing bamboo structure and organic jute fabric, this Tensile Membrane construction achieves architectural biophilic and curvature shapes, not achievable by other roof materials.

This Brazilian home employs an open floor plan to create a strong cross-breeze—important in such a balmy climate. The leaf-shaped roof traps the cool air inside and protects the house from the hot sun. If the distinctive botanical form doesn’t leave you feeling at one with nature, the swimming pool that stretches from the backyard to the indoors might do the trick.

This house, with approximately 250 square meters of construction, is located in La Barra, a region characterized by rugged terrain. The building's geometry adapts to the shape of the land; two circles with the same radius were projected to intersect in such a way that the center of one coincides with the development of the other. #ArchitectureProjects #ArchitecturalDesign #ArchitecturalInspiration #ModernArchitecture #ArchitecturalPhotography
