Spanning 133 sqm, the project combines spatial integration, transparency, a carefully curated selection of furniture, and a restrained material palette to reinterpret classical architectural elements for contemporary living.
Inspired by Belgravia, the central London district known for its classical residential architecture and refined proportions, the project draws on this heritage to establish a distinctly contemporary language. Designed by Bohrer Arquitetos in Campinas, Brazil, the 133 sqm interior brings together clean lines, balanced geometries, and reinterpreted traditional elements, combining comfort and functionality with a strong sense of spatial continuity.
The layout is organized around a fluid social core that connects the living room, kitchen, dining area, and bar in a continuous sequence. In the kitchen, a central island brings food preparation and social interaction together, while walnut-toned wood and light surfaces establish visual coherence across the different spaces.
Black metal-framed glass partitions play a key role in the composition. Rather than creating rigid boundaries, they define different areas while preserving natural light and sightlines, allowing for varying degrees of openness and privacy. Arched geometries introduce a subtle reference to classical architecture, while the rhythmic ceiling beams reinforce proportion and spatial order.
The same attention to detail extends to the furniture curation, conceived as an integral part of the interior. In the dining area, the Hella chairs, designed by Estúdio Doimo, complement the curved dining table and reinforce the room’s light-toned composition. In the living area, the Guamá chair, by LabMobili for Boobam, provides a more graphic counterpoint with its textured ebonized finish. The selection also includes the Reich chair by Doimo, upholstered in beige linen, bringing together different forms, textures, and tones in dialogue with the architecture.
The material palette follows a similarly balanced approach to contrast. Light surfaces and neutral fabrics are paired with dark wood and black metalwork, while burgundy and earthy accents appear throughout. Light-toned stone and cement-look porcelain introduce a mineral counterpoint, and subtle variations in texture and tone add depth without disrupting the overall visual continuity.
In the private areas, the design language takes on a more intimate character. In the primary suite, framed wood paneling, light fabrics, and soft surfaces shape a calm setting for rest, while a transparent partition connects the bedroom to the walk-in closet. The second suite revisits curved forms and earthy tones alongside a tactile, handcrafted-looking wall finish.
Rather than literally reproducing traditional design codes, Belgravia Apartment translates them through proportion, rhythm, materiality, and spatial relationships. The result brings classical references into dialogue with the openness and flexibility of contemporary living, with architecture, finishes, and furniture conceived as a cohesive whole to create a balanced and timeless interior.
