A symphony in Brazilian
Today we invite you to a minimalist apartment located in São Paulo. Thanks to the palette of warm beiges combined with wood, the interior is cozy and creates a friendly atmosphere. The Peclat + Chow studio is responsible for the project.
The owner is Greek and has been living in Brazil for eight years. He decided to buy an apartment in the fashionable part of São Paulo - Jardins.
The building comes from the 60's, and the place itself hasn't been renovated for over 50 years! Therefore, there was a lot of work ahead of the architects: not only in terms of interior decoration, but also in modernizing all installations.
At the entrance to the apartment, it was decided to use walnut buildings, which also separated the living room from the kitchen. Before the renovation, there were three small bedrooms in the apartment, it was decided to combine them and create two comfortable rooms. It became possible thanks to moving the corridor to the living area of the apartment.
As for the palette of materials, it was kept to a minimum to create a minimalist and calm interior. Warm beige and white optically brightened the apartment, complemented by walnut wood and marble.
Some of the original bricks from the 1960s have been exposed, covered with a layer of white stucco - thus echoing the client's Greek roots and the landscape of São Paulo.
There are wooden Peroba Mica planks on the floor, the joints between them have been deliberately emphasized to show the uniqueness of each of them. When it comes to furniture, it was decided on pearls of Brazilian design: from José Zanine Caldas' designs to Carlo Hauner's furniture.
