Morphology
The phrase's meaning is directly built from 'calming' (causing or producing calm) modifying 'atmosphere' (the emotional tone or ambiance of a setting), so the sense 'an environment that makes people feel relaxed and peaceful' follows transparently from the parts. This adjectival modifier + noun composition is a common, predictable pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Calming atmosphere paints a picture of a room with soft light, quiet music and plants that make the space feel gentle and quiet. The word calming shows the effect and atmosphere means the surrounding space, so it refers to an environment that makes people feel 'relaxed' and 'peaceful'.
