Gama Issa is a modern sustainable house which despite the concrete block which forms the house has a transparency between the garden, the parallelogram pool that runs along the house, and the interior of the house. The transparency of the house is achievable through the large sliding glass panels which serve as a wall and have magnificent views of the garden and the pool. Natural day light and ventilation are available throughout the entire house.

While when one sits at the garden and looks inside the large sliding glass panels, he views the never-ending bookcases, which occupy one wall on both floors, and run from floor to ceiling neither of which seem to touch the floor or the ceiling due to the construction detail which runs throughout the house. The house’s clean lines and austerity compellingly portray Kogan’s clean and serene design concept as opposed to the chaotic and noisy city of Sao Paolo. The house’s exterior is painted in a cold white tone to take full advantage of the Brazilian sun, and create a contrast with the surrounding environment. Despite the description of the architect about the city of Sao Paolo, Gama Issa House portrays calmness contrary to the noisiness right outside the tall white wall which sets the boundaries to this house.

The interior of the house continues to be covered in tones of white through the usage of various materials like a white toned marble staircase thus reflecting the ambient sunlight which surpasses the large glass panel windows. The house’s interior spares any unnecessary decoration and really sticks to the simple modern furniture pieces. The wooden floor makes a great contrast between the lighting pieces and the clean cut furniture of the comfortable and elegant lounge. Colorful modern paintings have been used throughout the house to give a vigorous tone. Interior and exterior construction details are very well executed and this shows very well in the end result.
