  • Overview

Atelier Caliza is envisioned as a retreat and event space where architecture becomes a stage for dialogue, creation, and shared experience. Carved from stone and defined by tactile surfaces, it reinterprets the atelier not as a solitary workshop, but as a communal environment that welcomes interaction, performance, and collective memory.

The aim of Atelier Caliza is to explore how material tactility can frame collective encounters. By merging the intimacy of crafted detail with the scale of cultural use, the project creates an architecture that is both personal and public — a place where retreat and gathering coexist.

The design process was rooted in material experimentation. Surfaces were textured, carved, and layered to amplify their tactile qualities, while spatial layouts were developed to accommodate both small workshops and larger communal events. Open courtyards and interior enclosures were designed as sequential experiences, guiding visitors through varying degrees of intimacy and immersion.

Atelier Caliza positions itself as a new typology of retreat — one where architecture is not only inhabited but also performed. Its impact lies in reframing the atelier as a cultural hub: a space for creativity, exchange, and celebration. Within the Horizonte collection, it expands the notion of retreat from private sanctuary to collective experience.
