Named after Anahata, the heart chakra associated with balance and openness, the house translates this concept into an architectural structure organized around a generous central void. This open space becomes the heart of the home, bringing light, air, and vegetation into the interior while allowing the surrounding volumes to remain visually and spatially connected.  

The design follows a three-layer biophilic methodology, moving from natural materials, filtered daylight, and cross-ventilation at the intimate scale to planted boundaries, open-air rooms, and framed views of the Central Valley.  

Casa Anahata expresses a contemporary, understated approach to tropical architecture. Its courtyard heart and layered biophilic principles allow climate, topography, and sensory experience to shape the architecture itself.

The program adapts to the topography with a tiered organization. A recessed lower floor houses parking, service areas, and recreation. The main level contains the social core and a bridge-like terrace with a firepit. The upper level gathers the bedrooms around views of either the valley or the central courtyard.
