The site is a 500-square-metre grassy meadow dotted with trees. Consisting of
four levels – three above ground and one below – the combined total living space
is 300 square metres. In order to retain the character of the original meadow, the
ground-floor living and dining areas are tied to the garden in a generous sweeping
gesture. This gives the feeling of a 500-square-metre living room composed of
outdoor and indoor spaces. The tail end of the ‘swoosh’ tapers to human scale,
forming smooth, shallow depressions for sitting; curvilinear furniture; a pool and
terrace with rounded corners.

Paraty House by Studio MK27 - Minimalistic Modern Architecture

Marcio Kogan's Paraty beautiful mountain home sits in one of the islands of the colonial city of Paraty and Angra dos Reis (between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro) between the colossal stones of the Brazilian coast.

H O U S E O N T H E M O U N TA I N S I D E Ayora, Valencia, Spain

           The sleek, clean lines of this white modernist house contrast starkly with the natural rugged mountain range from which it seems to shoot out like a kind of crystal from deep beneath the surface of the earth. Lined next to the more traditional houses in this small Spanish village, it appears alien, otherworldly, and yet at the same time perfectly suited its surroundings.

The clean, minimalist aesthetic is continued indoors, where a central void divides the interior space. Located on the ground floor are the garage, wine cellar and laundry. The first floor contains two bedrooms, open to the private street, while a third bedroom on the second floor looks over the houses opposite and the Valley of Ayora. The study, also located on the second floor, opens onto to the central void, incorporating that space.

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area on the second floor open onto an uncovered

terrace that looks out to the rugged mountain range behind, making it a wonderful area

for entertaining.

A L A M FA M I LY R E S I D E N C E (Jakarta, Indonesia)

The open frontage of the Alam Family Residence contrasts with neighbouring houses,most of which are surrounded by large fences and contain guard booths. The highly articulated concrete wall acts as a ‘breathing’ brise-soleil, preventing overheating of the building skin and filtering abstract light patterns that transform the interior space throughout the day and night.
The roofscape geometry maximizes roof accessibility by connecting the second-storey to the third-storey portion of the house, culminating in a spectacular view of an historical marina to the east of the site. The roof deck serves as an alternative outdoor space for
play and interaction, or simply a place to enjoy the sunrise, while the extensive rooftop garden contributes to the urban ecosystem.

The E-shape plan creates two inner voids that bring light and fresh air deep into the house. Generous use of skylights and extensive vertical glazing around the inner courtyards dispense with the need for artificial lighting during the day while creating a constantly-changing light display that activates and enlivens internal spaces.

The interior of the house consists of a series of continuous, free flowing spaces that foster a supportive, interactive family lifestyle. The consistent minimal white palette in the common area gives visual dominance to the bold red prayer niche – representing the family’s traditional beliefs in a modern setting – the bold yellow aquarium located in the heart of the dining–living areas, the dark wood ‘rolling carpet’ of the staircase, the abstracted Borneo jungle water wall with native natural stone and the vertical garden in the courtyard.

Flux Mondiaux

Le Maroc a gagné 26 places dans le classement des économies les plus intégrées aux flux mondiaux. Il a ainsi avancé de la 79e à la 53e place mondiale entre 1995 et 2012, selon le dernier rapport du cabinet McKinsey «Global Flows in a Digital Age». Après l’Ile Maurice, c’est la deuxième plus forte progression au monde. «Il s’agit d’un indicateur très positif, dans la mesure où l’étude établit aussi le lien qui existe entre le degré d’intégration d’un pays aux flux mondiaux, d’une part, et la croissance de son PIB, d’autre part. L’ouverture du Maroc sur l’économie mondiale contribue donc au développement et à la prospérité du royaume», estime Mourad Taoufiki, DG de McKinsey pour le Maroc. Ce dernier avertit que l’inclusion du Maroc dans la mondialisation implique aussi des défis pour le pays. «Nous devons être attentifs à la résilience de l’économie marocaine, notamment à sa diversification, pour permettre au pays d’absorber les cycles de l’économie mondiale à laquelle il est lié. Par ailleurs, on observe qu’au niveau mondial, la croissance des biens et services intensifs en capital intellectuel est aujourd’hui beaucoup plus rapide que celle des biens et services intensifs en main-d’œuvre.
Cela traduit un virage vers une économie du savoir mondialisée qui nécessite des efforts d’éducation et de formation importants pour rester dans la course», déclare Taoufiki.
Au niveau mondial, la valeur combinée du commerce des biens et services, auxquels s’ajoutent les flux financiers, a atteint 26.000 milliards de dollars en 2012, soit 36% du PIB mondial, contre à peine 5.000 milliards de dollars ou 23% du PIB mondial en 1990.
