Social area of an apartment in Maranhão is reminiscent of an art gallery

A couple in their 50s with a daughter bought this apartment in São Luís (MA) and hired architect Roby Macedo to carry out a renovation of the 123 m² social area, with as little intervention as possible, as the property was in good condition. state. Therefore, the off white porcelain floor (subtly marbled) and the existing plaster ceiling lining were maintained in the new project. The only change to the plan occurred on the balcony, which was isolated and, with the renovation, became integrated into the social area to make the sea view available to anyone in both the living room and the dining room. The integration also opened up space for a table with six seats in the dining room and a table with eight seats on the gourmet balcony, without compromising the circulation of the spaces. As the client owns an art gallery and collects works of very different styles. Therefore, the architect adopted a clean contemporary look for the decor, with a very neutral base (including the off-white fabric upholstery of the sofa, chairs and armchairs), allowing the paintings to stand out, without visually weighing down the space.

“The client’s collection is vast. So, we asked her to select her favorite pieces that would be displayed in the room and we kept the rest. In this way, we respected her taste and history, without compromising the lightness of the decor and the feeling of spaciousness that we were looking for in her new home”, says the architect. The colorful painting by artist Marçal Athayde that is above the sideboard and the numerous paintings by Maranhão artist Dileusa Dinis Rodrigues , an exponent of Naive art known internationally as Dila, are among the most important in the decor. In terms of Brazilian furniture with signature design, the architect highlights, among the pieces that were acquired, the iconic Mole armchair (by Sergio Rodrigues ), the Prime dining table and the Moi chairs on the gourmet balcony (by Marcelo Ligieri ) and the center Grelha (by Porfírio Valladares ).
