Studio mk27, located in the chaotic city of São Paulo, was founded in the early 80s by architect Marcio Kogan, and today consists of 29 architects as well as several collaborators worldwide. The team of architects, great admirers of the Brazilian modernist generation, seeks to fulfill the difficult task of rethinking and giving continuity to this iconic architectural movement. The projects of studioMK27 are valued for their formal simplicity, always working with special attention to detail and finishing.
Kogan is an honorary member of AIA (American Institute of Architects), professor at Escola da Cidade, and was considered by Época magazine one of the 100 most influential people in Brazil, and is part of the list “The Wallpaper* 150 Famous for 15 Years”. He leads a team of architects, who at large, have been working with him for over a decade. Since 2001, when he started a co-creation and cooperative work system at the office, studiomk27 has won over 200 national and international awards, such as: IAB (Institute of Brazilian Architects), São Paulo Architecture Biennale, WAF, Architectural Review, Dedalo Minosse, Record House, LEAF, D&AD, Spark, Barbara Cappochin, Iconic, AZ and Wallpaper Design Award.
The team at studio mk27 has spoken at the Royal Academy of Arts, AIA, Société Française Des Architectes, Clubovka, FAU-USP e Mack universities, FAAP, Polytechnic of Milan and Valencia, South Florida, Rice, Texas, among others. In 2012 studio mk27 represented Brazil at the Venice Biennale.

P Residential House by studiomk27 The P house is a puzzle game. Rotating three volumes around one nucleus generated not only a particular spatial dynamic, but also different visual relations between empty and full, between the private and semiprivate areas and the view of the city.

Tetris Residential House by studiomk27 A wooden volume in line with the eastern façade – with a little more 2.85m high and19m long – rests within a ceiling height of 5.15m and 11.75 in the front. Configuring a permeable space between the entrance and the back of the lot, the living room is the emptiness that results from this organization of the plan on this lot. The space is delimited – together with the eastern façade – by a wooden shelf that contains the library and a fireplace. This is the architectural design of Tetris House, located in Sao Paulo.

Riviera Bar by studiomk27 The curved lines of the glass bricks of the façade are transported to the inside. The result is a sinuous counter registered throughout the ground floor. In the center, the waiters and barmen serve the public; and around them the clients can openly see the whole space, seeing all of the people in the enclosure. Besides the counter in an organic shape, the restrooms are located on this floor as well. A sculpture-like staircase – originally from the space – takes us to the first floor, where there is the large salon on the restaurant and the kitchen.
