Tijuca Forest inspires a project for a 115 m² carioca apartment

The interior design by Cité Arquitetura (from the cast of CASACOR Rio de Janeiro) for this 115 m² apartment in the Tijuca neighborhood (RJ) reflects the personality of a young Carioca family with roots in the place where they live. Born in the neighborhood, the residents – a couple with two small daughters – prioritize comfort, safety, and connection with nature, aspects reflected in the design. Inspired by the bucolic nature of the Tijuca Forest neighborhood, the project subtly and authentically incorporated natural elements. Plants, stone finishes, and natural fabrics complement the design, reinforcing the connection with nature. The rooms are embraced by champagne walnut wood textures, which add warmth and delicate naturalness to the projects. The modular design of the shelf connects the dining and living rooms to the kitchen and the spacious balcony with gourmet space, promoting family togetherness. Its airy structure brings lightness to the projects, allowing transparency between spaces and expanding the perception of multifunctional continuity. In addition to accommodating the TV and decorative elements, the use of wood and the presence of a green wall reinforce the feeling of warmth, connecting the interior to the outside landscape.

The corridor integrates the social areas with the rest of the project, providing access to the office and the suites of the couple and the children. In the intimate rooms, the choice of textures and a careful lighting design reinforces the lightness and comfort of the projects, with color details over a neutral base that adapts to daily life.
