APTO CR

The young couple were looking for a modern and elegant apartment, which was well integrated and would work both for entertaining friends and for the intimate life of the family they were beginning to build, for now with two four-legged children.
The main element of this project is the carpentry panel that runs throughout the social area, creating a linear and continuous plan that hides several purposes. It incorporates the home-theater bookshelf and the bar niche with its wine cellars, camouflages the intimate circulation doors, the social entrance, the open doors that separate or integrate the kitchen, and also the sliding panel that hides the countertop. grill. Furthermore, it accommodates the ducted air conditioning grilles, which become almost imperceptible. The honey tone of the freijó leaf brings a warm atmosphere, which leaves the space welcoming and sophisticated.

The palette of colors and materials were chosen with the aim of matching the green and abundant view of the apartment, so the office opted for freijó honey, a discreet gray on the floor, neutral and light tones for the furniture with just nuances of earthy colors and hints of black, thus creating a light and young atmosphere like its residents.
To top it off, they chose Taj Mahal marble for the bar niche and Carrara for the dining table. For the dining chairs we used green and walnut wood, trying to reduce any contrast with the landscape and highlight it within the room. In the kitchen, the architects opted for a clean environment with white quartz countertops, metro ceramics on the walls, white cabinets and a countertop for quick meals also in freijó.

In the bathroom, they used the basin carved in Taj Mahal marble, on the walls a grayish tone with the Sunflower wall light in emerald patina and brass button, from the Items Collection.
To extend the atmosphere of the apartment to the couple's suite, the walls behind the bed were covered with thin freijó slats, along with an edge-to-edge upholstered headboard. Next to it, a cantilevered dressing table overlaps the bedside table. The colors of the fabrics are the same as those chosen for the living room, green, gray, white and black.
