studio mk27

At Studio MK27, we believe that architecture is a continuous dialogue—with time, space, landscape, and, most importantly, people. Seeing our projects featured in publications such as Interior Design, Dezeen, Designboom, Wallpaper, and ELLE reminds us that this dialogue expands and transforms with each new reading, interpretation, and exchange. Each article reveals a fragment of what we do: the fluidity between indoors and outdoors, the materiality that invites touch, the light that shapes space. We continue to experiment, learn, and seek to create places that not only shelter but also welcome, inspire, and move. We are grateful to everyone who shares this journey with us.

The Signature Building is a symbol of the integration between architecture and nature in Punta del Este, Uruguay. Launched in May 2018, the project spans 15,000 sqm of built area on a 4,000 sqm plot, conceived to provide a unique experience for its residents. With a minimalist facade, characterized by clean lines and architectural brises, the building ensures both privacy and control of sunlight, creating a balance between comfort and functionality. The Signature flows seamlessly with its surroundings, establishing harmony between interior and exterior spaces. Large openings enhance natural light and views, creating bright and inviting environments. This project reflects our vision of creating spaces that respect and enhance the surrounding environment, offering a unique experience where the urban and natural meet in a harmonious and fluid way.

The Flat Heritage is a masterpiece of contemporary design, where spatial fluidity takes center stage. Its carefully planned spaces interact seamlessly with one another, creating a sense of openness and integration. The use of wood, both on surfaces and in details, imparts a softness and warmth to the space, while establishing a connection between modernity and the natural qualities of the materials. The choice of contemporary furniture pieces, with clean and elegant lines, complements the atmosphere, creating a unique harmony between functionality and aesthetics. Every space in the project has been designed to reflect not only elegance but also the sensory experience of a timeless environment, where comfort and sophistication are perfectly in sync.

The C+C House was designed with concealed openings and a balanced interplay between solid planes and strategic apertures. Located in a tree-lined neighborhood, the long and narrow plot is bordered by buildings. Therefore, we oriented the openings of the residence towards the front and back, ensuring a better use of the land. This solution offers the residents a charming view, while also providing natural light and ventilation, with air flowing through every room. The transition between the interior and exterior is marked by a stone pathway in the garden at the front of the house, inviting both residents and visitors to enter. The self-supporting facade features pivoting windows that, when closed, blend into the facade, acting as a light and ventilation filter and controlling the transparency of the residence.

The 3M House embodies the essence of brazilian modernism through a composition that highlights materials such as exposed concrete, wood, and glass while integrating sustainable solutions. Large glass panels enhance natural light entry, strengthen the connection with the landscape, and promote cross ventilation. The fluid layout allows spaces to adapt to residents' daily lives, ensuring integration and versatility. In the social area, an opening to an internal garden creates a contemplative retreat, deepening the dialogue between architecture and nature. Elements such as brise-soleils and perforated panels contribute to thermal comfort and privacy while adding texture and depth to the facade.

The SC Studio is an architectural project that reflects the lightness of its purpose: food photography. Designed as a large volume housing two wooden boxes, the project is connected by a concrete walkway, creating a subtle harmony between the materials that interact with each other. The wood, with its welcoming texture, contrasts with the concrete, and both are softened by the predominant white throughout the space, generating an atmosphere that is both serene and imposing. The garden surrounding the path to the volumes adds a sense of naturalness to the environment, creating a feeling of fluidity and connection with the outdoors. The lighting, essential for photographic work, was carefully designed, and the interior spaces were thought out to promote natural and continuous circulation. The workstations, arranged in a functional and harmonious manner, create an environment conducive to creativity and productivity.

Studio MK27's first private houses in the Mediterranean honor the local landscape and vernacular architecture. Set on a 33,000 sqm plot, the four white volumes house two houses and two apartments, carefully positioned to respect existing walls and plateaus. The design incorporates water retention for local gardens and features two shared swimming pools to enhance the on-site experience. The structures are designed to open up to the infinite landscape, with the upper house offering sea views, while the lower house blends into the valley, surrounded by gardens. The cross-shaped floor plan organizes the spaces around a central living area, which is accessed through a sunken patio that gradually reveals the sea view. The roof dissolves into a concrete pergola shading a terrace near the pool. Retractable wooden sunshades and reinterpreted muxarabis serve as both light filters and privacy screens. The four modules are arranged around the central piazza with minimal corridors. Three modules serve as bedrooms, and one houses the kitchen, which can be integrated into the main space or closed off. The white walls act as a canvas for the dramatic Mediterranean light, with moving shadows adding texture to the facades. Inside, whitewashed wood panels and a mix of elegant and rustic furniture create a warm, cozy atmosphere, while Scandinavian chairs and lamps add color and texture, complementing the natural surroundings.

The main challenge of Flag House was to translate Studio MK27’s essence—its fluid connection between interiors and exteriors—into the harsh climate of Whistler, Canada. Designed as a vacation home in a ski resort, the project had to balance dialogue with the landscape and the necessary thermal insulation to withstand extreme cold. The result was a glass box leaning on another. This gesture, of projecting outwards the mountain, of flotation over the site responds to the wish of integration with the surroundings. The weightlessness of the upper volume constantly reflects the landscape, while the use of natural materials reinforces the bond with the environment. Material selection was key to creating a sense of belonging. Local flag stones, natural wood, and minimalist details give the home’s interior the warm atmosphere of a modern cabin. The meticulously curated decor enriches the space without competing with nature, which remains the true protagonist of the project. The project combines innovative technical solutions with timeless aesthetics to create a retreat that adapts to the challenging climate and celebrates Whistler’s unique landscape.

Studio R is a space designed to celebrate the nuances of light and shadow. Combining minimalism and innovation, the architecture pays tribute to photography, offering an ideal environment to capture images naturally and immersively. The studio's concept goes beyond the visual, offering a sensory experience. Natural light, combined with the cool tones of the interior, creates a serene and sophisticated atmosphere. Large openings, strategically placed, allow light to flood the space, casting soft shadows and transforming the environment throughout the day. The contrast between open and closed areas, paired with the use of subtle materials, enhances the contemporary aesthetic and functionality of the design. images by Fernando Guerra
