What we have contained within the House 6 by Marcio Kogan is an elegant mix of retro style and modernism. Though it does sound like a paradox, the home fuses aesthetics from both the past and contemporary designs for an aesthetically-pleasing hybrid home. A retro feel is established through the sprawled-out main-floor living areas, a look that really echoes popular homes in the 50s and 60s.
In terms of the modern aspects of House 6, highlights include the abstract boxed exterior and the use of levels. The beautiful studio halogen lighting also adds a contemporary touch.
