If I had to choose, I would have to say that the South American interpretation of modern architecture is definitely my favorite. Brazilian architects specifically, seem to have a way of designing their buildings feel to warm and livable, despite being constructed from fairly rigid and cold materials. This project by Marcio Kogan is the perfect example of what I love about the architecture from this region. The structure has simple angular volumes, beautiful concrete form work, and flexible interaction between the indoor and outdoor spaces. It also doesn’t hurt that it is literally 20 yards from the ocean, in Brazil.
