The design of this apartment aims to create spaces in dialogue, integrating some
social areas, while following, at the request of the clients, a very specific aesthetic,
inspired by New York lofts.
This approach to international aesthetics is achieved through darker joinery, which
makes the apartment’s composition less minimalist and takes advantage of the
bookcase. Conceived as a solution to separate environments and to accommodate
the couple’s extensive library, the bookcase gains prominence in the project, which
is distributed around it.
The living room, integrated with the dining room, can be connected to the kitchen through a floor-to-ceiling panel. The program also features a home theater, close
to the social area and two suites, one of which is a master.
In order to guarantee balance to the final set of the project, the dark woodwork
bookcase contrasts with the other finishes on the walls and floors of the
apartment, all in light tones. Highlight for the natural ceramics that simulate stones
and natural textures in the living room and the wooden flooring in the intimate
areas.
Finally, meeting the need to adapt the space for the home office, the dining table
‘transforms’ into a workbench, and can have its end close to the frame moved, thus
creating a separate area for work.
The interiors – with furniture signed by Jorge Zalszupin such as the Anette
armchair and Sênior dining chairs, the vintage wooden side table by Branco e
Preto, the Adobe 2 table by Guilherme Wentz, the lampshade by Sergio Rodrigues,
the Morfa side table by Lucas Recchia for Firma Casa and also designed by Arthur
Casas, such as the Ettore side table, the Disco stool and the log dining/work table,
the work table/ headboard, all produced by Studio Objeto – were designed to
coexist harmoniously with the view of the skyline of São Paulo, glimpsed through
the large windows in the living room.
