Sao Paulo-based architecture studio, Studio MK27 directed by Marcio Kogan, designed this weekend house for a couple from São Paulo and their three adult children (for whom Kogan has already made another home in São Paulo, the House Cubo), located on a windy hillside in the elegant coastal city of Trancoso, in the province of Bahia, Brazil.
Marcio Kogan is a Brazilian architect who is passionate about cinema, his second vocation and which he has repeatedly referred to as a platform for learning architecture: how to deal with proportions, the movement of light.

Casa Vista was designed by Marcio Kogan and his colleagues Samanta Cafardo and Beatriz Meyer, together with the landscaper Isabel Duprat, following the archetypal typology of housing with a gabled roof of traditional homes, elongated in one direction more than 60 meters with 15 meters wide, 3.5 meters tall. A home that brings together everyone and the entire program under one roof.
"Its horizontal proportions are delineated by the extrusion of a cottage elemental section, which generates a 60-meter-long wooden roof."

The house is wrapped in a skin of vertical slats of ashen eucalyptus, in reference to traditional materials used in the northeast of Brazil made with thin branches of the biriba tree, which seem to grow downwards on the façade, reminding us of the petrified roots of Christina Iglesias.
"The outside views swoop inside the interiors spaces through soulful textures that refract and reflect light, creating a dance of light and shadows on each surface, specially through the biriba slats and the Viroc perforated walls."

The envelope is interrupted by a 12-meter opening crossed by the landscape and a base to look at it, a large space sheltered by the main bedroom and the kitchen.
"Rooted by closed volumes in its edges, which contains the master suite and the kitchen, the house opens itself to the colors surrounding through an immense wide-screen span overlooking the infinite blues."

Hidden from the road in the leafy residential neighborhood of Jardim Paulistano, the house emerges from a delicate landscaping treatment created with native vegetation: araçá, aroeira, and cainito trees and flower beds planted with pink Mexican shrimp plants dotted with tiny white flowers.
