Paraty House by Marcio Kogan Architects

Paraty House is design by Marcio Kogan Architects. It located in in Paraty, Brazil. Paraty House’s two reinforced concrete boxes, sit atop each other, connected on the mountainside of one of the islands of the colonial city of Paraty and Angra dos Reis (between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), like two modern prisms between the large colossal stones of the Brazilian coast. Paraty House features a furniture collection showcasing 20thcentury design, including works by many well-known artists.





The residents arrive by boat. This volume contains the living room, kitchen and service area. The same entrance stairs also lead to the upper volume that houses the bedrooms. In the front part of the house, retractile panels of eucalyptus sticks protect the bedrooms from the sun. Please visit Marcio Kogan Architects web site for more information.
