What was the brief?
The main points of the project were the open plan, restoration of the exposed concrete and the functionality of spaces and elements.

Also, functionality was key in defining the layout, coverings, equipment and furniture. Such items were chosen based on ease of use, cleaning and ergonomics.

What were the key challenges?
To give a identity and texture to the wall, the existing plaster were removed and the internal exposed concrete was restored. Giving the age and depth of the not original plaster and coverings, that prove to be very difficult. The almost absence of beams and columns inside the apartment was crucial in creating the desired open plan, joining the dining room, kitchen, office, living room and laundry area in one big room. The kitchen island was designed to entertain guests, creating an informal atmosphere.

What materials did you choose and why?
The exposed concrete was chosen to incorporate the building's identity into the apartment. The wood floor, assembled in a chevron style with brazilian wood planks, was chosen for its beauty and warmth. Open shelves were used to separate the social and service area, thus making good use of the natural lighting and ventilation.
