A Different Architecture in Sao Paulo at CORTEN House by Marcio Kogan

I can tell that this Corten House by the first look at this house in Sao Paulo, Brasil was designed by Marcio Kogan, an architect which has successfully build many amazing homes with few features which have their own characters. One thing that I found common at this home design is the use of wooden fence which almost block the view at the ground level of this house. This impressive house is made a through blend of stones, wood, COR-TEN steel, white mortar and glass. The use of floor to ceiling glass doors purposely done in that direction so the sun can reach the living area and the bedroom. It’s always amazing and full of surprises too that the striped wooden garage door has its own style of opening that will lead your car to the street. Want to know more on Marcio Kogan?

A Remarkable House In A Lush Vegetation and Great Vista of Golden Gate Bridge

“A barrel-vaulted ceiling articulates the living and dining spaces at the topmost level of the main house, and a large deck projects towards the bay to extend the space into the landscape. Other, smaller projections from the house’s main volume towards the bay provide more intimate spaces for dining or leisure, producing a façade which can be read as a hierarchy of varying degrees of enclosure within the tripartite structural scheme.

Bedrooms, a study and a two-story play area occupy the intermediate floors, while a gym of the lowest level offers close proximity to an outdoor terrace with lap pool, whose “infinity edge” of water establishes a poetic connection to the bay beyond.” stated the architecture about this Belvedere Residence which faces the Golden Gate Bridge. Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects created this modern home with lush vegetation with spectacular view with minimalist modern interior design which is warm and simple.

Splendid Home with Striking Vegetated Water Gardens in Blairgowrie Court Residence by Frank Macchia

If you’re on holiday now and you’re in Melbourne then you can visit this beautifully shaped home that challenge spatial and visual perspective in Brighton suburb. The Blairgowrie Court Residence is a wonderful home that has a striking vegetated water gardens and tremendous beautiful lap pool. This court residence was designed by Australian architect Frank Macchia which combines curved elements with rectangular volumes. Such combination gives a rippling effect towards the house front facade.

Frank Macchia designed this house also with two high walls which gives a unique interesting look towards the house. Inside the straight lines interiors add a contemporary feels towards this house. The house features with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The house mainly build using wood, glass, stone and concrete which blend well and created a perfect harmony. More over we love to take on some meditation by the patio at this house.
