Vista Home by Studio MK27 frames its bucolic context ‘like a wide-angle digicam’

What involves thoughts whenever you consider a home on a cliff, bookended by the ocean and stretching cloaks of grassland? Does its pure context combine itself into the edifice, upstage it, or recede into the background?

Constructed over six years, the Vista Home designed by Studio MK27 stretches idyllically, on a web site sculpted by the lagging and fixed motion of Bahia’s resplendent waters in Brazil. Set towards Trancoso’s sea scarps, and alluring seashores of vivid colors and wonder, Casa Vista is undeviating, steady, and gestural, resting atop a 46 m excessive cliff, with all its residing areas unfold leisurely below one dramatic roof.

“From a hen’s perspective, the elongated quantity goals to border the panorama like a wide-angle digicam,” shares architect and filmmaker Marcio Kogan, the founding father of Sao Paulo-based Studio MK27, who has a knack for conceiving buildings outlined by their dynamic aura and a strict relationship with the pure panorama, in refrain with ethereal interiors that appear monastic and splendid on the identical time, and cradled inside huge stretching horizontal volumes.  

Other than its conspicuous, window-less monolith type, the residential structure positive aspects distinction with its dynamic horizontal proportions, delineated by the extrusion of a cottage elemental part, and articulated by way of its beneficiant, sixty m lengthy being stretching unhurried in a single path. The seemingly easy, single-level construction boasts a powerful span of 45 m, rooted by closed volumes in its edges and containing the main bedroom and the kitchen. The remainder of the dwelling was conceived as an indoor-outdoor residing mass, in perpetual dialogue with its environment.

Constructed for the vistas and from them, the Vista Home opens itself to the colourful colors of its context, by way of its immense wide-screen span “overlooking the infinite blues,” the Brazilian architect says. Bookended by tropical biriba plantations, the ‘audacity of the metallic construction’ is what permits the contextual design’s 45-meter-long void, balanced by the tactility and textural qualities of the natural supplies that adorn it.

A gentle brown, gestural line on the panorama

The vacation house commences with a glimpse of its dramatically elongated, shingled gable roof rendered in pebble gray, and overseeing its bucolic context, its modern structure spelt by way of sun-lit interiors with easy, earthy, and sensorial class.

Accessed by way of a gently winding flagstone path surrounded by a gentle landscaped backyard, the villa’s structure then comes into focus with a creamy, textured facade design, wrapped in slender slats of ashy eucalyptus, seemingly rising over the constructing’s pores and skin as ‘petrified roots,’ and harking back to conventional supplies of northeastern Brazil produced from the spindly branches of the biriba tree. In distinction, the low-slung roof, which performs on the everyday form of a fishing cottage with a triangular prime, is articulated in recycled wooden, accompanied by tiles that have been handcrafted one after the other.

Crafted by way of a singular alchemy of proportion, the motion of pure mild and its play with the unreal, and a bucolic context of a tranquil seaside city, the Brazilian structure enjoys an expansive, open-air verandah infusing its important span, setting dialogue with gardens on both facet and surrounding a white decrease field. As ‘a home inside a home,’ this waterfront quantity hosts three bedrooms, a small den, a rest room and a lounge enveloped in perforated ‘Viroc’ panels (a particular, dense wood-and-cement composite in response to Studio MK27). By using Viroc together with the spindly eucalyptus sections, the villa design positive aspects fascinating patterns of sunshine and shadow all through, whereas its heroic, overhanging roof ensures that its inhabitants keep shielded from any climate situations.

“Unbiased of the primary construction, this internal home can open itself fully because the Viroc panels work as folding screens,” explains Kogan, who conceived the visually serene vacation house together with his MK27 colleagues, Samanta Cafardo (co-architect), Diana Radomysler (inside design) and Isabel Duprat (panorama architect).

Restrained but vividly cinematic, like most of Kogan’s oeuvre, this ‘untied’ four-bedroom residential design is introduced alive by way of a pale, sombre materials and color palette that favours its interplay with daylight in addition to the hues and textures surrounding it. The employed décor, furnishings and furnishing take pleasure in being bleached by the solar, and elevated by their compositional dexterity. Hid concrete columns assist the quixotic span of the Vista Home, which in any other case appears column-free at first look.

The skin views swoop inside the inside design via soulful textures that refract and mirror mild, “making a dance of sunshine and shadows on every floor, particularly by way of the biriba slats and the Viroc perforated partitions,” he continues. The unadorned interiors thus put at focus, materials textures and surfaces that come alive as they work together with the solar’s day by day path, and the encircling hues of nature, fashioning the contextual structure’s muted drama.

Framed tranquil by the grass, the solar and the sky, the Vista Home with its surrounding panorama animating its pronounced linearity, is a research in steadiness, of embracing munificent nature whereas gently contrasting it with its fashionable sensibility. Inside, the inclusion of native supplies and subdued items of furnishings are organized in a young refrain with engineered furnishings, the place monastic textures meet an extroverted, daring quantity. “Nature’s sturdy colors are filtered and framed by a muted palette. Closed volumes open themselves to open-air terraces and hallways. Exact boundaries are, in the end, diluted by this permeable residing,” concludes Studio MK27.
