Volume B Store Modern Architecture Design by Marcio Kogan

Home » Architecture Design » Volume B Store Modern Architecture Design by Marcio Kogan

Brazilian well-known architect Marcio Kogan has completed a project for the retail furniture store Vitra located in São Paulo. The idea on developing the project was applying the materials in their extreme condition such as visible concrete executed without any concern about precision or finishing, or the skin of the back volume where he used various layers of a steel frame which is usually used on the inside of the concrete slabs and were found at the site.

The interior also retrieved the same treatment. Walls did not get any special finishing and still have the original chalk markings left by the workers during the construction, almost an archeological discovery. The external floor is made of pebbles which are also used to mix concrete.
