Brazilian firm Studio MK27 has renovated and enlarged a house designed by its founding partner in the early 2000s, which features white surfaces and huge windows that open to the garden.
Totalling 700 square metres, the home features white surfaces, formal compositions, and a strong relationship between interior and exterior. The project garnered international attention and was nominated for a World Architecture Award in 2002.
In 2002 the founder of Studio MK27 Marco Kogan designed a home in Sao Paulo for a young professional family. The 700 sqm property with its stark contemporary design attracted global attention and was nominated for a World Architecture Award. Fast forward to now, the growing family found themselves limited in their space and purchased an adjoining lot and commissioned Studio MK27 to undertake the project of expanding their home to accommodate their family needs.

The project was carried out by a multidisciplinary team including architecture practice François Chatillon, which specialises in revamping 20th-century buildings, and paint restorer Marie-Odile Hubert, who ensured that walls were recoloured in hues as close as possible to Le Corbusier’s original palette.
Italian furniture brand Cassina were also charged with restoring the apartment’s furniture and the cow hide rug that features in the sitting area next to a black leather edition of Le Corbusier’s signature LC2 lounge chair.
The Paris apartment within the Immeuble Molitor, where Le Corbusier lived for over three decades, has reopened its doors to the public, following two years of restoration works led by the Fondation Le Corbusier.
The apartment is located along rue Nungesser-et-Coli in Paris’ 16th arrondissement, and was home to Le Corbusier, along with his wife Yvonne, housekeeper and pet dog Pinceau, between 1934 and 1965.
