Marcio Kogan of Studio MK27 has designed a contemporary Panama house. This residence which designed for art has the distinct style of Kogan’s architecture, stating its low, open, and elongated elegance.
The Panama house doesn’t offer any cozy nooks, soft furnishings, either homey touches. However there is a feeling of comfort and livability in this “House of Art” that makes you want to move in tomorrow. All levels of the three-storey house — including the bedrooms, office, gardens and patio — are used to display the owner’s substantial collection of predominantly modern Brazilian art and sculpture.
An uninterrupted connection between inside and out makes the entire space seem unlimited, translucent, as if without walls, although the structure is essentially a wooden box inside a C-shaped concrete cask made of cement slabs and a wall. The sliding vertical wood lathes that form the brise soleils for each room’s facade, are also an important part of establishing the prevailing openness. Via
