Cake Lamp
By Rafael Morgan – Looking for a producer
« This is the Cake lamp! It´s inspired by a telescope (but ended up looking like a cake) and it uses its retractile function to control the amount ambient luminosity. Each layer is supposed to be available in several different colors, so each lamp shade could have a complete customizable look and color palette. It ´s supposed to be made in powder coated aluminum, with diffuse-reflective coating on the inner surfaces, to optimize luminosity propagation. »
Grid House
The program in the grid is made up of a nucleus, with washing area, social area, guest room and the owner’s apartment, and three isolate modules, with two bedrooms each, for the children. Among these, the empty modules highlight the structural continuity and enhance the empty spaces where the garden can be seen. This empty and closed spaces game provides a fragmented organization of the program, protecting the privacy of the users and, at the same time, enabling an understanding of the building set as a cohesive unit.

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. »

Amazing house from brazilian architect Marcio Kogan.
From the outside, when the brises (and the front wall, which follows the same language) are closed, it´s impossible to distinguish the openings, and all wooden surfaces make up a pure single volume, without bumps. When these brises are opened, the house looks like a large wood folding.
