Vista House is located in Trancoso, a tranquil seaside town in Brazil's Bahia province. Studio MK27, which is led by architect and filmmaker Marcio Kogan, completed the 8,343-feet home in early 2020.
The home is made up of a low-slung, gabled roof that is roughly 15 metres wide, 3.5 metres tall, and 60 metres long.The residence home sits on top of a 46-metre-high cliff above Transco's sea escarpments,The position and view of the ocean heavily influenced the design, as did the material palette of the tropical environment.
The living areas of Vista House are left open to the environment,This impressive span is only enclosed at either end, where MK27 placed the kitchen and primary bedroom, respectively. The outside of the structure is wrapped in eucalyptus staves, while the roof is sheathed in hand-carved wooden shingles.The remainder of the home is conceived as an indoor-outdoor living space.
The living areas can be closed off with screens that extend from the ceiling,In addition to the primary bedroom, the home has four additional bedrooms contained within a smaller volume that is inset from the exterior walls.The use of the perforated Viroc and the spindly eucalyptus sections creates interesting shadow patterns throughout the home, and the expansive overhanging roof ensures that the residents can enjoy the outdoors in any weather condition.
