Laje Inclinada House

This house, set on a steep slope covered with typical Brazilian savanna vegetation, is located in front of a preserved area facing mountain views. Its location strategy, longitudinal to the terrain’s contour lines, is defined by the extensive cover concrete slab, which is fluidly inserted according to the specific needs of the program and the terrain. At first the concrete slab appears as a light component, which rests on only two pillars. It has the function of marking the main access and the garage, as well as framing the panorama that walks between the spectacular view of the mountains and the limit of the densely populated area of Belo Horizonte. Further down the slab slopes downwards, connecting to the terrace where the pool and... More

Portuguese White Rustic Limestone Irregular Natural Split

Portuguese White Rustic Limestone is a natural limestone sourced from selected quarries in Central Portugal. Each piece is individually selected, creating an irregular composition with natural variations in shape, texture and warm beige tones. The stone features a natural split face that preserves its authentic mineral character, while the sawn flat back facilitates installation and allows the material to be used as natural stone cladding for both contemporary and traditional architecture. Suitable for exterior façades, garden and boundary walls, interior feature walls, villas, hospitality and landscape projects. The irregular format allows architects and installers to create distinctive masonry compositions, from refined faç... More

Vagão House

The Vagão House is arranged longitudinally across the site, taking advantage of the open views toward the mountains to the south. Conceived as a dry and efficient construction system, the house is organized through two clearly defined volumes. The private areas are concentrated in a suspended upper pavilion, while the social spaces occupy the ground floor and open almost entirely toward the garden. TETRO TETRO TETRO This configuration creates a continuous relationship between interior and exterior, allowing the living spaces to extend into the landscape. The elevated volume also provides shade and protection to the spaces below, while reinforcing the horizontal character of the house. Structure, construction logic and... More

Adentro House

Located on an approximately 5,000 m2 site in Lagoa Santa, near Belo Horizonte, the house begins with a central question: how can an extensive program be accommodated on a densely wooded plot while preserving as much of the existing vegetation as possible?The answer emerged from reading the voids between the trees. Rather than first defining the shape of the building, the project sought to identify the available spaces on the site and understand where the architecture could be inserted. From this logic, a continuous rectangular circulation path was created, organizing almost the entire house on a single level and connecting the different spaces of the program.

Project • By Marra Interiorismo EstudioaPrivate Houses

A new perspective

"This renewal became an act of love for what has been lived, and a commitment to what is to come." This project was born from the desire to rediscover what is already one's own. The history of this house begins with an emotional and intelligent decision: to stay. Instead of pursuing the promise of a larger house, the owners chose to give new life to the one they were already living in. It was then that Marra Interiores intervened, approaching the project not only as a renovation, but as a complete rethinking of how to inhabit the space, from its functionality to its emotional resonance. The starting point was a compact house with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room that opens to a sunny terrace. Although modest in square... More

Akra Didim Hotel

An Ecological Hospitality Landscape Shaped by the Memory of the SiteAkra Didim is a 340,000 m² landscape-led hospitality complex located within Baransel Beach Cove on the Didim coastline in Aydın, Türkiye.

Dong Thap Muoi Tram Chim Wetland Center

Dong Thap Muoi is a vast seasonal wetland in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, where low-lying terrain and a network of interlacing canals create a unique “floating season,” when the area becomes alive with water for up to four months each year. This delicate ecosystem once fostered a rich biodiversity of birds, fish, and amphibians and shaped vibrant cultural traditions.  Caption Caption Caption However, intensive agriculture and ecological degradation over time have disrupted this natural balance, distancing local communities from ancestral ties to the landscape. Positioned at the edge of Tràm Chim National Park—a conservation area established to protect endangered wetland species—this proje... More

Desert Courtyard Mansion

Located on the northern edge of Kerman, Iran, this desert mansion explores a contemporary interpretation of traditional Iranian residential architecture, combining vernacular climatic strategies with a modern architectural language. The design is fundamentally shaped by the extreme desert climate and the traditional distinction between summer and winter quarters. The northern part of the residence functions as the summer residence, incorporating a traditional Badgir (windcatcher) as a passive environmental system. The windcatcher captures and directs air into the building, supporting natural ventilation and reducing dependence on mechanical cooling during suitable climatic conditions.

CN House

CN House is a residence designed for a family entering their retirement years, set within a long and narrow site in Khao Yai that stretches from the public road to the foothills beyond.

Mars Floor

In Mars, light becomes the starting point of a composition in which every shape finds its own dimension. A diffuser in balance, surrounded by volumes that trace trajectories through space. Tension and harmony coexist, gravity and lightness meet. Each volume responds to the others in an equilibrium that feels as if it has always existed. Mars Floor is a luminous sculpture where elements orbit in silence, forming an order that reveals itself slowly, like the movement of a planetary system observing itself.   Floor lamp with ceiling anchoring. Diffuser in cased blown opal glass. Black marble elements. Power cable with plug and integrated dimmer. More
