The Paraty House by Marcio Kogan Architects Marcio Kogan Architects have designed the Paraty House, located in Paraty, Brazil. Full description after the photos…. Photos by Nelson Kon The Paraty House by Marcio Kogan Architects House on the Cliff Fran Silvestre Architects finished a ‘House on the Cliff’, an abrupt plot of land overlooking the sea, where what is best is to do nothing.

He was unable to find wood of the quality he wanted, so he started up his own sawmill in the small town of Jels in Denmark under the name Jels Savvaerk (Jels Sawmill). Architecture Fieldwork Design & Architecture have collaborated with the Nike Workplace Brand Design group to design some feature walls for the NIKE expansion buildings.
