MAJC House

In the living area of MAJC House, the Clay table in hand-spatulated concrete is positioned in front of the large glazed window, becoming a point of balance between interior space and the surrounding landscape. Its compact materiality interacts with natural light, while Koki chairs support everyday living with coherence and versatility: around the dining table, as stools in the kitchen, and as desk chairs in the children’s bedroom.

Designed to blend discreetly into the hilly landscape of the Garda moraines, MAJC House is a single-family residence with a guesthouse and swimming pool, set within a context of high natural value and strict landscape constraints. The architecture avoids any iconic gesture, favouring a measured language expressed through chromatic and material continuity with the surrounding land and vegetation.

The heart of the house is the living area, conceived as a large glazed volume that opens completely towards the exterior. Here, the relationship between interior space and landscape becomes an integral part of daily living: natural light flows through the space, enhanced by expansive transparent surfaces, while earth-toned walls and sage-green brise-soleil echo the colours of the surrounding nature. Within this setting, positioned directly in front of the living room’s glazed façade, the Clay table in hand-spatulated concrete stands as a central yet understated presence. Its compact, tactile materiality—crafted through artisanal processes—engages with the changing daylight, expressing solidity without ever feeling intrusive. The concrete top, essential and expressive, becomes a meeting point between inside and outside, between everyday life and contemplation of the landscape.

Arranged around the table, Koki chairs naturally fulfil their role as dining chairs: visually light yet structurally robust, they support convivial moments without overwhelming the space. Their versatility unfolds throughout the home, where Koki is also used in its stool version in the kitchen, maintaining formal and functional coherence, and appears again in the children’s bedroom as a desk chair. A single seating design moves seamlessly through different rooms, adapting to multiple uses while preserving a strong, consistent identity.
