An apartment for a couple

Marcelo Rosset as Architects

Social area: We have a living space with two areas. The L-shaped sofa, which is an Artefacto sofa, you have a Breton coffee table with marble, a Decameron armchair, which is really nice to sit on for reading, integrated with the other sofa which is also from Decameron, two armchairs swivels from Breton and the rectangular table, which is also from Breton. We are integrated, because they like to receive. The client asked to have a wine cellar, so he has a super cellar, air-conditioned, with lighting. There is also this detail, which we worked with a texture, wallpaper, but there is always the wood detail to give that touch.

In the home itself we end up doing something a little more, elaborated, so there's a bykamy rug, as it's a place that doesn't have a pouf, so you have the sofa here, which is a retractable sofa, they really wanted it, but they play a little with this rug. I have a rack that has all the equipment from home to the environment. And there's the painting, they bought it later, but it's a very figurative painting, but it was interesting.

Gourmet area: A space where we removed the old charcoal grill and added a gas grill, which is much more practical, a beer space, a support space and the dining table, which is for everyone. And close to the window, creating a lounge atmosphere for drinking. I think the highlight here is the table, where we have this sculptural chandelier from Pontoluce which is super interesting, it's an indirect light, it's something different because you have this super special view and it frames the entire context. So it was more shades of gray with hints of blue and something else in earthy tones, but it really was the idea of doing something very clean and it was a complete renovation of the apartment.

Kitchen: Create an integrated space that could have the kitchen area itself with a counter, the person could be watching the person cooking and also be integrated. We have this door that was made for when there is a lot of dirt, a lot of frying, to have the idea of opening or closing it, but the idea is that the environments are all integrated.

Both here in the kitchen and in the gourmet, this top is a Dekton top, which is that synthetic material, and the idea was to work with one that resembled marble, the color is light to be able to break up the gray. But I believe that with the gray and wood that we have in the details so much so that here the entire part of the kitchen is also the same type of wood where the laminate is, but it resembles Freijo, the floor is all porcelain and the cabinet is from Kitchens.
So, as we have everything in shades of gray, I wanted to warm up some details. We have, for example, the entire entrance with a panel that hides the entrance door, the bathroom door. I made a wooden box to make this entrance a little more special. And this wood detail ends up appearing.
