This refurbishment project was born out of the desire to incorporate the lightness and chromatic nuances of coastal locations into the apartment located in a building of a superblock in Brasilia to meet the current needs of the residents. The intervention space had significant potential for spatial reconfiguration, which allowed for the creation, expansion and integration of rooms.

On the first visits to the apartment, it was observed that the balcony was covered by an opaque awning that obstructed the contemplation of the view formed by the generous treetops of the superblock and the breadth of the sky. This analysis revealed the balcony's potential to frame the landscape and project it into the apartment.

The design solution adopted was to remove the awning, leaving the balcony exposed, and install clear glass with heat resistant film sliding doors that make the transition from the living room to the balcony and guarantee the desired visual permeability and provide thermal and acoustic comfort in the living room.

The existing exposed concrete balcony railing with planters facing the façade of the building was complemented with a bench in the same finish to welcome permanence and encourage contemplation.

A window with rounded edges that overlooks the elevator hall was kept in order to preserve the memory of the pre-existing apartment in an effort to establish a dialogue with the contemporary, also seen in the mixture of traditional modern furniture such as Diz chair by Sergio Rodrigues, Jangada lounge chair by Jean Gillon and contemporary designs like Pistão table by Arthur Casas and Matriz Sofa by Jader Almeida, among art pieces of  Marcelo Solá, Renato Rios and Alberto Lamback.

The main flows of the layout were demarcated by the panels and sliding doors in slatted joinery with a medium freijó wood veneer finish that fluidly direct the routes between the collective, service and intimate living areas, as well as allowing for different spatial configurations when they are opened and closed according to the convenience of the residents.

The pre-existing structure of the apartment also has a slope that separates the living room and balcony from the rest of the rooms, which are on an elevated level. An extensive corridor runs from the common area to the intimate area, separated by a door built into the panel, thus guaranteeing the residents' privacy.

The travertine marble present in the flooring of the living and bath areas, in addition to the joinery in medium freijó natural wood veneer mark the chromatic unity of the design language, which emphasizes the sand tones in the main flows of the apartment.
