The clients main requests were a wine cellar and an efficient sound and home automation system.
The wine cellar was designed as a focal point, while remaining integrated into the overall space through the choice of finishes. Its strategic location provides easy access from both the dining and living areas.
The entire sound and home automation system was developed in collaboration with the client, who already had extensive knowledge of the subject as a passionate music lover and wanted this element to be incorporated into the way they experience and live in the home.
The clients are passionate about good wine and music, and this became the starting point for developing the integrated living area.
The wine cellar stands out between the dining table and the sofa, which serves both areas thanks to its adjustable backrest.
On the veranda, a charming and inviting corner was created for relaxation and socializing with family and friends.
The custom woodwork panel that now separates the TV room from the integrated living area was a key element. In addition to creating a greater sense of coziness, warming up the space through its color and texture, the panel also changed the way the residents interact with and use the apartment.
The wine cellar was also particularly important, as it was one of the clients’ wishes and became the protagonist of the living area without completely taking over the space. It stands out while simultaneously integrating into the setting through the choice of materials and the overall composition.
It was more of a challenge than a difficulty, but incorporating the new furniture while ensuring it reflected the clients’ personality and complemented the apartment’s impressive existing collection required a careful approach.
The existing furniture carries significant visual weight, with imposing pieces and strong materials such as dark wood and leather in shades of brown and black. We therefore chose to introduce more lightness and color to soften the composition and give the apartment a more contemporary and up-to-date feel.
The orange-toned sofa stands out while complementing the rug, which adds even more personality to the space through its stripes in colors found throughout the project.
We opted for finishes that could be easily applied, since the project did not involve construction work. Examples include wallpaper applied to the ceiling and a ceiling trim in Suite 1.
Custom cabinetry was widely used to dress the walls, add a sense of coziness, and minimize dust and mess. In the living room, we used a natural wood veneer panel to separate the TV room, avoiding the need for a masonry or drywall partition. In the kitchen, a white fluted panel was used to maintain the light color palette while adding charm and texture to the space, which also incorporates the breakfast area.
Paint finishes also play an important role. A soft blue tone was used in Suite 1, creating a composition with the two wallpaper patterns. Suite 2 features a very light gray paint finish with a polished concrete effect. The living room and TV room received the same polished concrete effect in Coral’s “Branco Gatinho” shade.
