An apartment in a modestly based Gaioleiro-style building, with a highly irregular interior geometry that conditions the design of spaces and their respective occupation. As a strategy, in addition to the usual superficial and infrastructural rehabilitation, specific areas are defined for the project to focus on, improving its habitability and personality:
-Reorganization of the bathroom and kitchen for better utilization and clarity of design;
- Introduction of a bed headboard to create orthogonality in the bedroom;
- Widening of the entrance. This space is now distinct from the corridor, where one can undress, store a coat, and follow the farewell ritual;
- A closet associated with the bedroom, special, intimate, and differentiated from everything else.
- A window-object between the main living room and the sitting room, visually connecting them with evident gains in amplitude and continuity between both spaces.
