The Uapé apartment project in São Paulo was designed during the building's construction to reflect the new owner's personality. We removed walls and a bedroom, integrating spaces to better suit single occupancy. The design expanded the social area and integrated the kitchen, with a freijó wood panel enhancing the space and facilitating gatherings. Custom pieces, like the Filo table and Piet lamp, were created to harmonize with the interior’s wood, glass, and corten steel elements, complementing the overall spatial and design harmony.

Bio
Flavio Castro had the opportunity to start designing and building early, with only 20 years old. Flavio defends that practical experience completes academic theory, and has always worked in these two areas, with experience in architectural firms inside and outside Brazil. After three years of Masters in Barcelona, he returned to Brazil and settled in São Paulo, founding FCstudo in 2009. The collaboration system that exists within the office allows a constant exchange of information among professionals who join the team depending on each project´s demand.
