Studio MK27 is a São Paulo–based architecture and design studio founded in the late 1970s by Marcio Kogan. Celebrated for its elegant, minimalistic aesthetic, the firm creates spaces characterized by clean geometric forms, rich material texture, and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor environments. Deeply rooted in Brazilian modernist tradition, their work places a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, passive sustainability, and spatial clarity.
Since officially adopting the name “Studio MK27” in 2001, the studio has expanded into a collaborative multidisciplinary practice of around 50 team members. Their portfolio encompasses residences, hospitality, cultural, and commercial projects both in Brazil and internationally. Renowned projects include Casa Paraty, Canopy House, and the Flag House in Canada, reflecting Studio MK27’s commitment to context-sensitive, formally refined design that resonates with place and light.
