Ceny #EDIDA2026 znají své vítěze! Ateliér Formafatal (@formafatal ) založila v roce 2015 architektka Dagmar Štěpánová a postupně si vybudoval mezinárodní renomé. Stačí si vybavit interiéry restaurace Gran Fierro, Moon Clubu, Wine Baru Autentista či několika privátních rezidencí, které studio dovedlo k oceněním od platforem jako Dezeen nebo Architizer. Gratulujeme! —— Foto: @kocourova Text: @evacaothi —— #ELLEDecoration

Local materials and spectacular views combine at these rammed-earth villas that float above the Costa Rican jungle. Like apparitions, the twin villas of Achioté float above the jungle at Bahía Ballena in southern Costa Rica, designed by Formafatal (@formafatal ) as vacation homes with extraordinary views across the Pacific. Rectilinear forms in earthy tones blend into the foliage, while floor-to-ceiling windows and rammed-earth walls—made from excavated soil—ensure a low environmental impact. Thick walls cool the interiors without air conditioning, rainwater feeds the infinity pools, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces define their smart, context-sensitive design. As featured in our book 'The House of Green', available at gestalten.com and via the link in our bio. Photography by: @boysplaynice

Studio House Dagmar Štěpánové v Kostarice propojuje architekturu s džunglí – otevřené terasy, dusaná hlína a bazén přímo v terénu vytvářejí prostor, kde se člověk stává součástí přírody. 🌿 Celý článek najdete v e15magazínu 🗞️ #text Martin Filip #photo @boysplaynice —— #e15mag #magazine #architecture

∼ En unísono con la naturaleza La residencia Studio House, diseñada por la arquiteca Dagmar Štěpánová (@formafatal ), del Studio Formafatal (@formafatal_studio ), para ella misma y su socio Karel Vančura en Uvita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, representa una fusión entre arquitectura y paisaje. Situada en una colina que desciende en dos direcciones y rodeada de selva, la casa responde al terreno adaptándose y evitando las raíces de los árboles, y permitiendo que la vegetación circundante sea parte activa del proyecto. La vivienda se caracteriza por un diseño abierto: la planta alta con el área de estar no tiene fachada completa, lo que permite que el murmullo de la selva, la luz y el viento formen parte del interior. Materiales como tierra comprimida y acero Cor-Ten dialogan con el entorno, y una alberca infinita de 10m de largo acompaña la topografía. Más que una casa, Studio House es un refugio que difumina la frontera entre interior y exterior, invitando al usuario a coexistir con la naturaleza de modo auténtico y sensible.
