A couple living in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, gave interior designer Claudia Infante a challenging mission to renovate their "country house" in Itanhangá: no renovations, only aesthetic interventions. The owners considered the space, located just 14 kilometers from the main residence, characterless and lacking personality – which the professional, who is part of the cast of CASACOR Rio de Janeiro, sought to solve with practical and intelligent solutions. According to the architect, despite the beautiful architecture and mountain house vibes, updates were necessary in practically all rooms. The points that received the most attention from the professional were lighting, furniture, and rugs. In addition, Infante aimed to add texture, vegetation, and, above all, delved deep into carpentry. As the layout was not altered, carpentry was Claudia Infante's great ally in the transformation. In the kitchen, in addition to creating more storage space, the existing cabinets received new doors in two tones: freijó and a grayish green, which was also used on the walls to contrast with the checkerboard tile floor. New barstools for the counter and chairs for the dining table, along with the lighting project, complemented the projects with more charm. In the master suite, the new carpentry brought functionality with a large panel that combines headboard, console, table, and shelves. It also allowed for a complete change of the room's layout, adjusting electrical points and creating more intimate lighting. The guest room received a wooden headboard and wallpaper; the son's room got a piece of furniture that, in addition to serving as a TV console, stores small personal items. In the social area, the changes were more aesthetic. Most of the furniture was kept, including design pieces like the Egg chairs by Arne Jacobsen and the Diz by Sergio Rodrigues. However, new items were included such as the Moove sofa by Victor Leite, coffee tables, the console, dining chairs, and rugs. The layout change also allowed for the creation of a reading space and an entrance hall. The balcony became more pleasant, with conversation points created with armchairs and a wicker swing. The TV room received new decorations, cushions, rugs, and bar stools; a revamped sofa with a fabric change; and mirrors that bring the greenery of the external area into the interior.
