Designed by Bohrer Arquitetos, the interiors of the Gavia Apartment, located in the Moema neighborhood of Moema, offer a contemporary interpretation of urban living, balancing modernity and warmth. The spatial composition of the 150 sqm apartment unfolds through organic geometries, a palette of natural materials, neutral tones with subtle earthy accents, indirect lighting, and custom cabinetry, creating environments that flow seamlessly into one another.
Living, dining, and kitchen areas are articulated within a continuous space, organized by wooden planes, light surfaces, and a curated selection of Brazilian design furniture. The pieces combine sculptural presence with everyday comfort, with highlights including the Serfa armchair by Zanini de Zanine, the Dobra sofa by Guilherme Wentz, the Pétalas coffee table by Jorge Zalszupin, and the PL 13 armchair by Percival Lafer — forming a composition that balances organic volumes, natural textures, and neutral tones.
Spatial flexibility is a guiding principle of the social areas. Within this framework, a movable panel integrated into the cabinetry organizes the living room by housing the television while allowing the gourmet area, complete with a barbecue, to be concealed when desired. This solution enables the space to shift between different uses and atmospheres, maintaining a clean, continuous visual reading while preserving integration.
Surfaces in natural wood, off-white lacquer, and mineral finishes establish a neutral, tactile base, while subtle accents in fabrics — such as mustard and terracotta — introduce warmth and depth. Indirect lighting, integrated into coves and panels, enhances volumes and textures, creating layered illumination that expands spatial perception while maintaining visual comfort.
Cabinetry plays a structuring role throughout the project. Slatted panels, niches, and floating shelves act as mediating elements, defining uses and ensuring privacy without interrupting visual continuity, while seamlessly integrating storage into the architectural composition.
In the master suite, the predominance of wood, combined with light textiles and soft lighting, reinforces a sense of retreat. In the remaining rooms, distinct functions are introduced — including a children’s bedroom and a home office — while maintaining a consistent spatial logic that balances functionality, comfort, and visual lightness.
By articulating spatial fluidity, curated furniture, flexible solutions, and a material palette grounded in natural tones and textures, the Gavia Apartment reflects Bohrer Arquitetos’ approach to interior design: spaces that reconcile design precision with everyday sensibility, offering a balanced interpretation of contemporary living.
