The resident keeps a very close eye on aesthetics – a point of caution for Patricia. The property has an urban aesthetic, with many light and softer elements.
The integration between the environments was done to ensure more natural lighting throughout the apartment, in addition to expanding the spaces. The balcony was fully integrated into the living room to increase the size of the social space.

Oak wood is harmoniously present in all environments, and connects the kitchen, the living room and the home theater. The material also extends to the corridor of the rooms.
In the intimate space, the walls of the corridor were torn down and the TV panel put in place, creating an environment completely covered with the material, mimicking the bedroom door.

“There is a delicately orchestrated composition, very subtle and fluid, between the furniture, artwork and decorative objects,” says the architect.
The project was carried out in collaboration with Ornare and in all environments the furniture of the brand is present, making the house more comfortable and welcoming. Oak wood, porcelain flooring and Paraná marble complement each other in a harmonious and elegant way in the decoration.
