Located in a traditional block of Asa Sul, inaugurated by President Juscelino Kubitschek himself in 1960, the Casa Brasileira apartment boasts 110m² and underwent a radical renovation led by Umdiedro Arquitetura. The transformation rendered it contemporary, colorful, and inviting to cater to a young couple in love with Brasília. All changes were devised to modernize and fulfill the clients' needs, showcasing an identity that blends the clients' origins.All spaces were reimagined with vibrant and lively elements, accompanied by structural modifications, altering the kitchen, one of the bedrooms, and two bathrooms to create a modern, current, and functional layout.

Vibrant Changes
The first step in any good project is identifying client demands and devising ways to meet them. In this regard, the firm decided to astonish with a completely radical change in the living room. When it comes to colors, they enter this project as focal points subtly dividing the spaces: blue is for the kitchen, yellow for the tiles, and wood defines the dining area, while gray represents the living room and office. Walls were repositioned, allocating lateral space for the living room, featuring a counter that seamlessly integrates the spaces, perfect for entertaining friends. The former kitchen area now houses the dining room, offering a beautiful view of the treetops. Red was emphasized to draw attention to the exposed plumbing details. For this detail, next to the kitchen, the pipe belonged to the apartments' grease trap, which was covered with insulation to isolate noise and a metal plate for a finishing touch, ensuring future maintenance accessibility.The lavatory received a complete makeover, exuding personality in every detail. The aqua-green-toned cladding with decorative art and a Provencal-style sink incorporate many references from the clients' world travels and experiences.

Minimalist Intimate Area
In the couple's private area, the former bathroom and service area were repurposed to create a superb closet, relocating the master suite's bathroom. In this space, the proposal shifts away from vibrant colors towards minimalism. The entire intimate space predominantly features a neutral aesthetic language, with gray walls, flooring, ceiling, brushed granite, and black accents in fixtures or lighting details.

All meticulously planned to provide comfort to the couple and align with their identity imprinted throughout the rest of the home.
