The penthouse overlooking Flamengo Beach was the ideal setting for the residents' new phase of life: the couple had just moved from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro when they discovered they were expecting their first daughter. For the 320 m² apartment (with 57 m² of balcony alone) to be perfect, architects Rafa Gomes and Sandro Batalha , from Studio Plano Arquitetura , were called in to give the interiors a family feel.

From the balcony, the view of Guanabara Bay is 180º, with Niterói far to the left until the Botafogo cove. Without a doubt, a breathtaking view”, says Rafa.

However, during the development process, the residents decided to also include the intimate area of the property, focusing on their daughter's room.

Darker hues appear in some furniture pieces to create points of contrast.

[/caption] Originally, the property had a masonry wall with a large door between the living room and the dining room, which was demolished to integrate the spaces and increase the feeling of spaciousness in the social area. The frames between the living room and balcony were also dismantled and redone to maximize the integration gap between them. “With these demolitions, the framing of the view gained a new proportion, even more impactful”, assesses Sandro. Another specific intervention that had a great effect on enhancing the view was the change in the main access to the apartment: before it was on the side of the living room and now it is more towards the center.

[/caption] A modular island sofa , with seats facing three sides, connects the living room with the balcony and the TV room. “The side of the sofa facing the central living area and the balcony is narrower, as it functions as a type of upholstered bench. The side facing the TV has seats with more generous dimensions to ensure comfort”, explains Rafa.

A large white muxarabi portico crosses the entire length of the rooms – from the access to the kitchen, through the social area and reaching the circulation that leads to the intimate area, flanked by a natural wood cabinet, with shrimp doors that camouflage the bar and the wine cellar. .

[/caption] “The Rio rocking chaise, by Oscar Niemeyer, was an old dream of the clients that they managed to win, by chance, at an auction, in the final stretch of executing the project”, adds Rafa Gomes. “Our biggest challenge in this project was to measure the interventions in order to respect and give prominence to those who really deserved to be highlighted: the view of Pão-de-Açúcar hill and Guanabara Bay”, concludes Rafa Gomes.
