What was the brief?
The clients were looking for an apartment that alligned efficiency, sustainability and comfort, through common areas as its essence, creating an elegant environment for their social gatherings and the private areas as cozy as possible.
What materials did you choose and why?
The concept of biophilia was the guide during the project’s development. Solutions were adopted seeking comfort and closeness to nature, through textures and natural materials, such as wood, linen, and vegetation, from the floor to the ceiling, applied to the walls, panels, and furniture. The project embodies biophilia and neuroarchitecture concepts, aiming for wellness and quality of life. Wood in its diversified finishes and colors acts as the main character along with the big block of greenery.
The vertical-directed ebonized wooden panels provide sophistication. They also emphasize the double height ceilings, along with the greenery that can reach the biggest height of the room with the vertical garden and with our own design plant shelf. The shelf is meticulously designed so that every of its plant containers have their own automated irrigation and drainage system. Wood and white prevail throughout the apartment’s private area. They have the purpose to bring the cozyness and amplitude sensation to the smallest rooms.
