Vila 121 Apartment

The most important piece of this project is the bookshelf in corten steel that divides the social and private area. It configures the space and provides niches for storage and display of objects. The social area interacts strongly with the kitchen, which works almost like an extension of the living room, eliminating the barrier between social and service area. The color, size and language of each piece were carefully determined, so the atmosphere was consistent with the sensations sought in each environment. It’s a contemporary apartment. Bedrooms follow the same idea, with specific design pieces for a free appropriation of the space. For the common area on the roof, we chose design pieces that provide social interaction.
