450 m² apartment features contemporary and minimalist layout

Making the most of the existing architecture, this 450 m² apartment, located in the Jardim América neighborhood of São Paulo, has been given a contemporary and minimalist layout to reflect the style of its residents. The project is by Daniela Berland Cianciaruso , an interior designer who runs Estudio Glik de Interiores . The residents were looking for a project that would evoke sensations – whether it was looking out the sumptuous windows and seeing lots of greenery, or observing the calming colors added to the walls and furniture, or even absorbing the tranquility of stepping on the cozy wooden floor. In the project, the central pillar was highlighted with a wallpaper that reinforces the concept of the project , without ignoring it, repeating this same pattern in the bathroom on the lower floor.

The apartment already had a reclaimed wood floor and carpentry from an old project by architect Arthur Casas , which were kept. A neutral base was implemented to achieve the desired light style , in addition to updating some rooms with new finishes and furniture. Wood was used in abundance by the designer – both on the floor, stairs and panels. And, to give the project even more personality and a bit of boldness , fabrics were added to the spaces, embellishing the timeless and modern design of the furniture and upholstery, predominantly white and in light tones. For the playroom, the idea of adding texture with wallpaper was also used. A free central space was installed in the room, toys were distributed in a playful way along the wall with an L-shaped cutout . To bring more fun to the children's room, the colorful granite was mixed with a dinosaur panel.
