Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan designed House 53 in São Paulo, Brazil. The House 53 design was defined following São Paulo city building laws and the site’s peculiar shape, which is just over 10 meters in front and approximately 30 meters in length. According to the legislation one can build in the neighborhood up to a two-floor building, settled upon the site’s lateral limits. A third floor is allowed as long as the lateral setbacks are respected.
The house’s inferior volume, which comprises the living room on the first floor, and the bedrooms on the second floor, is a glass box with wooden brises that open as folding doors. The rooms’ front and back facades were designed to be completely closed or opened. 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.
THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT GETAWAY/VACATION HOME!!! WOULD ALSO BE A GREAT PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO BE BOTHERED!!!!
