V4 House
Architecture: studio mk27 – marcio kogan + renata furlanetto. Interiors: studio mk27 – diana radomysler

House 4×30
Design: CR2 + FGMF
House 4×30 São Paulo
Encrusted in a row of narrow geminate houses, the story began more as a challenge rather than as an architectural project. How make the entire program of a house fit in that 4x30m lot, relying on a few illuminated surfaces? Even though the object is deceptively simple, the answer came across a lot of research.

São Paulo furniture store
Design: studio mk27 – marcio kogan + mariana simas
The showroom of the Decameron furniture store is located on a rented site in the furniture commercial alley in São Paulo. To make the quick and economic construction viable, the project worked with the premise of a light occupation of the lot, basically done with industrial elements, which could easily be assembled.

Casa dos Ipês São Paulo
Design: studio mk27 – marcio kogan + lair reis
Ten years ago, when StudioMK27 tried to do a project using exposed concrete, many builders said that this was practically impossible. During a determinate period, in the 1990s, the use of the material declined sharply, restricted to the few architects that used it experimentally and sporadically, without fixing a constructive know-how.

Hyundai Pavilion São Paulo
Design: Spadoni & Associados Arquitetura
This São Paulo building, located in a symbolical corner of the city, can be described from two elements: a glass wall to the front of the main avenue, detached from the building’s main structure, which receives the brand’s logo and two central blocks which contain the programme. Wall and main structure sometimes split in two elements; sometimes join themselves as a solid.

Paraty House’s two reinforced concrete boxes, sit atop each other, connected on the mountainside of one of the islands of the colonial city of Paraty and Angra dos Reis (between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), like two modern prisms between the large colossal stones of the Brazilian coast. The building projects outward from the mountain, almost onto the beach, in an 8m cantilever.

Bahia house
Studio MK27
Bahia house
The Bahia House is an ecological house. But, not in the technological sense, not in the contemporary sense of the word “sustainability”, it does not have the very latest state-of-the-art gadgets that make it possible to optimize electric expenditure.

Coser House
The inner dimensions of the living room 6.5m by 10.3m, and the low ceiling of 2.40m, create a sensation of coziness, accentuated by the textured of the concrete ceiling made with narrow wooden formwork. In this way, a desired horizontal proportion for this project is created.
Forneria San Paolo
Marcio Kogan Arquitetos
Forneria San Paolo
The restaurant Forneria San Paolo is located in an upscale mall of São Paulo. The concept of the project was to build a simple space, almost minimalist, which would also establish an architectural play of materials and transparencies.
