Meet the apartment of architect Bárbara Dundes in São Paulo

After seven months of renovation, the architect Barbara Dundes and her husband, civil engineer Marcelo Gelschyn, present their new home: a 160 m² apartment in Vila Mariana (SP), which features a total integration of the kitchen with the living area, wooden ceiling, and the addition of an extra bathroom in the master suite. In the entrance hall, the curved walls with indirect lighting received fabric on the upper part. The shoe cabinet stores shoes and bags and features a marble bench and a tensioned screen with lighting. This entire area is surrounded by a inox-clad box, contrasting with the wood that predominates in the rest of the apartment. In the social area, the tauari ceiling creates coziness and also acoustic comfort. The irregular layout follows the various shades of wood - in fact, several nuances of the material appear in the cabinetry, loose furniture, and details. The integrated kitchen has a large island that extends to the apartment's balcony. With a sintered stone countertop, it houses the beer cooler and wine cellar, in addition to the cooktop. To maintain a clean aesthetic, the appliances are built-in, and the dishwasher is hidden in the cabinetry.

The dining room occupies the former balcony space and features a special piece: the buffet embedded in the structural pillar appears to float, as it has no lower support. The doors gain delicateness with the fabric covering. In this same area, the gas barbecue hides behind doors in the cabinetry. In the living area, the extensive bookshelf features built-in lighting that enhances the exposed books and objects. Another structural pillar of the apartment serves as support for the floor lamp. For the private area, the master suite received a new bathroom, now divided for him and her.
