On the seventh floor of a building in
Caiobá , on the coast of Paraná, this
89 m² apartment stands out for its panoramic view: from there you can see the sea and an untouched cove. Signed by
Rodolfo Fontana – from the
CASACOR Paraná cast – this project was conceived as a weekend and seasonal
nautical refuge , combining
navy elements and an informal atmosphere.
To meet the needs of the client and her adult daughter, the layout was designed to maximize the functionality of the spaces. The project eliminated the traditional internal dining
room , replacing it with a multifunctional bar, which also serves as a dining area.
The
kitchen was integrated into the dining space, with a counter that facilitates interaction during meals and meetings.
In the outdoor area, the balcony has a bench and a table that complement the casual dining options, allowing residents and their guests to enjoy the spectacular view while sharing pleasant moments.
With
navy details, the nautical refuge uses a
color palette that combines white, blue and orange . The tones were applied subtly to works of art and decorative details, bringing an air of tranquility and freshness to the environment. The rounded finishes and careful choice of lighting reinforce this maritime atmosphere.
One of the biggest highlights of the project is the flooring: Rodolfo chose an Italian ceramic that emulates rustic stones, applying it throughout the apartment, from the social area to the kitchen, passing through the bedrooms, bathrooms and balcony. This floor not only adds aesthetic value to the space, but also gives a feeling of continuity and spaciousness.
The
apartment's joinery is entirely made of natural oak veneer, without the use of MDF , and with blue lacquer finishes in the kitchen and laundry room, as well as white lacquer in strategic points.
One of the biggest challenges faced was reconfiguring the
bathrooms . "The service bathroom was eliminated to make way for a toilet, which required ingenious solutions, such as the installation of a suspended toilet due to the original
shaft ", explains Rodolfo.
Another challenge, according to Rodolfo, came with the discovery of a structural pillar when demolishing one of the
rooms . The architect's solution was to incorporate the pillar into the bar's design, covering it with wood and integrating wine cellars into the adjacent cabinet.
