A 90sqm apartment located in Brasilia, the project was born from the premise
of creating environments that could be comfortable for the everyday life and also to
receive friends and family on special occasions.
A beam that used to divide the room to a height of 2.10m was the guide of the
project. This quota was defined as a reference for the doors, lining, friezes and
cabinets, creating a more human scale and giving unity to the whole apartment.
Decisions such as the removal of the door and service room make the project more
consistent with the contemporary use of a dwelling.
The existing wooden flooring that used to make the apartment dark was removed
and turned into panels for the room and the bedrooms. In the room this panel
camouflages all the doors leaving the environment more mimetic while in the
rooms the panels have the function of bedside, which turns them into more
welcoming spaces.
A painting by the artist based in Brasília Chico Monteiro, specially commissioned
for the apartment, brings color and life to the place, contrasting with the gray floor
and white walls.
The adoption of a minimalist language, where the emptiness becomes the stage,
gives rise to a calm and timeless space, where the relationship between light, art
and vegetation creates the setting for life in the dwelling to take place.
