The renovation of this old apartment had economy as its main premise, aiming to enhance existing elements and adapt them to the residents' needs. The parquet flooring was restored, while the electrical, lighting, plumbing, and gas installations were kept exposed.

The junction between form and function: An office in an old house in Tietê had a space that demanded this function, but due to lack of planning, it was always messy and did not allow its full use. The client desired many storage spaces, including hiding the file documents to not be exposed, along with a coat rack to store her bags. Another concern was the hidden wires, which always tangled and accumulated dirt. It was requested that everything be solved through carpentry, and also that there be a staircase in the place for easy access to the upper cabinets, which should be tall. We designed the carpentry, and from it, the "moon drawer" was created, inspired by this office, to organize and also have the possibility of mobility, as ne... もっと見る

The Baronesa Apartment originally boasted a well-structured layout, featuring a spacious living room with a balcony, a master bedroom, and two additional bedrooms. The clients expressed their desire for a fully renovated kitchen, one that is luminous and expansive, capable of seamlessly integrating with the living room or being closed off as needed for daily activities. To fulfill this vision, we devised a sliding door that offers flexibility: it can be fully opened, recessed into the wall, or closed altogether. Maura Mello One of the primary challenges of this projvect centered around the living room's layout. Given the room's square shape, we opted for a double sofa that effectively divides the space into a TV area and a lounge, ens... もっと見る

As the years go by, customs and living arrangements change. Previously, the floor plans of residential apartments were highly compartmentalized, with various separate rooms divided by walls, a room for staff, numerous bathrooms, among other distinctive features. However, increasingly, the newer generations seek more open and connected spaces with fewer obstacles and a lively atmosphere. This is how we conceptualized this renovation project together with the young couple who owns this apartment in the Itaim neighborhood. Pedro Napolitano Prata With 110m² of space, we proposed the demolition of all the walls in the social or common areas, integrating them into a single, fluid, and cozy space.
