The project, called Micasa Vol C, is located at the heart of the brazilian city in the Jardins neighbourhood, known for its tree-lined streets and upscale shops. The 225-square-metre pavilion, measures 15 by 15 meters (49×49 feet) with a ceiling height of 7.5 meters (25 feet), was designed by Studio MK27 to serve multiple functions.
Description of project by Studio mk27
MiCasa Vol.C es un espacio abierto único que completa el complejo existente de la tienda de muebles en São Paulo. El complejo consta de la tienda original, Vol.A, el anexo diseñado por el estudio mk27 en 2007, Vol.B, y ahora el nuevo espacio llamado Vol.C.
La demanda de un programa flexible condujo a la creación de un espacio interno que permitió varios usos posibles: tienda, espacio de exhibición o residencia temporal para artistas invitados, en una caravana que se adapta dentro del espacio. El espacio resultante es un plano de 15x15m con una altura de techo de 7,5m. Una lámpara colgante de Isamu Noguchi acentúa la doble simetría del espacio y explora su dimensión vertical.
Para la construcción de un pabellón de iluminación, el estudio adoptó un sistema estructural de madera, continuando la investigación reciente de studiomk27 sobre el tema y adecuado para una construcción limpia y rápida.
Una sucesión de marcos de madera laminada encolada supera casi 15 metros de luz. Cada dos módulos, en el plano superior, barras de acero se utilizan para reforzar la estructura.
Una subestructura apoya la piel del edificio y crea una brecha entre el plano de la fachada y los pilares. Esta distancia refuerza la lectura del ritmo y de los simples ajustes de los elementos de madera.
En contraste con la "rectitud" de la estructura metálica del Vol.A y el brutalista expuesto del Vol.B, el Vol. C parece flotar suavemente sobre el suelo, como una linterna japonesa.
La envolvente del edificio está hecha de hojas plegadas de dos materiales diferentes: policarbonato translúcido en la mitad superior y una placa de metal blanco en la inferior. Durante el día, las sombras de los árboles circundantes se proyectan en la fachada, llevando el movimiento poético de la luz y la naturaleza al espacio interior.
