Apartment GMC

• Architects

This project was designed for a young couple, with the goal of creating seamless integration between the living room, kitchen, and home theater resulting in a unified and inviting space, perfect for relaxing and entertaining friends.
With the clients style in mind, Consuelo Jorge Arquitetos opted for a neutral color palette combined with wood, leather, and tones such as graphite, mustard, and terracotta, creating a sophisticated contrast. Freijó wood takes center stage in the project, especially in the entryway and powder room, which are fully clad in it covering both walls and ceilings bringing warmth and elegance to the space.

In the home theater, the minimalist shelving unit takes center stage, showcasing the clients collection of pieces from ARTSOUL DESIGN. A Freijó wood panel serves as the backdrop for two artworks by artist Livia Frigo ("Partículas – Composição Cinética", 2021, technique: cut and collage of Ebony wood), from ARTSOUL GALERIA.
A modular sofa in off-white bouclé offers both comfort and flexibility, while linen curtains add warmth and privacy. Sophistication comes through in the Jardim and Asti side tables by Jader Almeida, and the Serena armchair by Estúdio Bola, upholstered in mustard bouclé fabric.

In the kitchen, the graphite tone including the service doors serves as a perfect example of unity and functionality. The central island not only accommodates quick meals but also acts as a focal point for daily activities.
In the dining area, the FIO table in ebonized oak by Jacqueline Terpins takes center stage, paired with caramel leather chairs that create a space that is both relaxed and sophisticated.

The couple’s bedroom is a haven of comfort and modernity, featuring a fluted Freijó wood panel that seamlessly integrates the bed and fendi-toned nightstands. Artworks by Livia Frigo oil on cotton paper are aligned with the bed, adding a contemporary and personalized touch to the space. Beyond rest, the room also includes a functional home office, while maintaining a cozy atmosphere through neutral tones and layered textures in fabrics and rugs.
This apartment was thoughtfully designed so the clients can enjoy not only the beauty of the space, but also its functionality in everyday life making it perfect for relaxing and entertaining with friends.
