Casa Aura’s interiors unite spatial clarity and sensory comfort. Floors set the route, Portuguese stone paving begins at the street and continues into the lot, marking access. In the hall, satin gray large format porcelain flows through living, dining and kitchen, easing routines and offering a calm base for light. Cumaru clads the stair and the private floor, and lines the ceiling over the family room and the double height living, adding warmth and welcome. Social walls receive an off white mineral texture that diffuses light and reduces glare. Full height frames open to the garden, creating places of shade, breeze and view. By the stair, the musical corner combines a Jader Almeida cabinet for the turntable and LPs with the Mole armchair by Sergio Rodrigues and space for the guitar, a ritual for Angela and João with their three children. Soft textiles, natural fibers and custom joinery balance scale, organize storage, conceal doors and keep volumes legible. In the bathrooms, natural stone, top light and small gardens turn routine into retreat. A house of honest materials, balanced tone and a constant bond with the landscape.
