Luxury Architecture BR House by Marcio Kogan Architect Brazil

In the Brazilian jungle, Marcio Kogan creates the elegantly Minimalist, wood-screened BR House By the time a wealthy Rio couple hired architect Marcio Kogan and his associates to dream up a summer retreat for them, their house was already taking form. There’s a certain template that any right-minded architect would follow when building in the mountains north of Rio, where only rounded granite peaks interrupt the thick weave of rain forest.
