Paraty House by Marcio Kogan Architects
Marcio Kogan Architects have designed the Paraty House, located in Paraty, Brazi. It is a concrete and stone masterpiece with wooden accents and an open-to-nature floor plan. It’s prime feature is the beach below and the nature above, moreso than the interior of the house itself. The same entrance stairs also lead to the upper volume that houses the bedrooms. In the front part of the house, retractile panels of eucalyptus sticks protect the bedrooms from the sun. The areas that face the mountain have small internal patios with zenithal lighting, and use exposed reinforced concrete, which grants a striking texture to the walls.

House 53 by Marcio Kogan
Here is the Architectural of House 53 which is designed by Brazillian architect Marcio Kogan, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The house was conceived as a wood and mortar monolithic block with another concrete and glass volume upon it. Due to the ground’s small front and volumetry, the box’s two edges had to make the most of light’s entrance, which explains the large windows. It was also desirable that these windows would make it possible to darken the internal environment whenever needed.

Panama House by Marcio Kogan
Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan plays with space in a way that makes you think that if he ever gets bored, a second career as a movie set designer awaits.
Through all four projects, the box form – Kogan’s favourite motif – occurs time and again but in carefully nuanced combinations: precisely planed concrete boxes within boxes (a function of security concerns in São Paulo); stoned lined boxes on top of boxes; and timber slatted boxes that open outwards towards a slim-lined lap pool perhaps with no doors to mark inside or outside.
