Casa Beira Mar I

In this image, you see the intimate encounter between architectural design and the human form. Captured in 2020 at Casa Beira Mar, a project designed by architect Paulo Martins in Aveiro, this image transcends the traditional documentation of spaces to explore the lived experience of architecture itself.

Observe how the harsh, frontal light cuts across the white wall, casting the organic shadows of the surrounding vegetation. This interplay of light breaks the coolness of the suspended steps and creates a high-contrast scene. It is a moment frozen in time, where skin texture, the pure geometry of the staircase, and shadows share the same prominence under the sun.

Fine-art print on Natural Velvet 270 g/m² paper — 25% cotton, acid-free, DIN ISO 9706 certified (archival grade). Canon LUCIA PRO pigment inks, giclée process, museum quality.

Each print is signed in pencil by the author and authenticated with our embossed seal on the bottom margin (on some sizes, the seal may slightly overlap the image). The dimensions shown always refer to the full paper size, not the image itself. The photograph is printed in the centre, framed by this white margin, making it fully compatible with standard frames on the market (such as IKEA's).

Every image carries a small caption in the bottom left corner, next to the image, with the title of the image and the name of the architect who designed the project.
