Paraty house
After the first post on the Panama house and the second one on House53, here is the Paraty house by the Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan
The surroundings make a lot in this magnificient house but the shape of the buiding is still incredible.
« The Paraty House is located on one of the hundreds of islands near the colonial town of Paraty, close to Rio de Janeiro. Before it was completed, Kogan predicted that it was to be his favourite house. Its simple premise is two large drawers pushed into the hill and connected by an internal staircase. Its elegance comes from the seamless link between indoors and out, from the use of native wood, stone and vegetation, and from the minimalist, sweeping vistas that make so many of Kogan’s houses appear as if they were either taking off or recently landed. »
