The
160 m² house is a villa and is the temporary home of a couple who have just returned to Brazil. Even though it was a rented property, they wanted everything to have their style and personality and that was the request for architect
Ricardo Abreu , from
CASACOR São Paulo .
"
Green is the couple's favorite color and was what led to the conception of the project . Although the social spaces were originally integrated, they were missing something that would make them more cozy, with suitable furniture", says Ricardo.
The rooms, which do not have side openings, are narrow and deep, which was further accentuated by the low ceilings. "
It was through the geometric painting applied to the walls and ceilings that the spaces were able to remain connected, but now led by a gradient in shades of green ", explains the architect.
There were no hydraulic changes, demolitions or constructions, but the entire lighting project was redone. The solution adopted was to leave the
lighting circuits visible , using wires covered with black fabric. "In this way, we did not make any changes to the pre-existing ceilings and sought to enhance the visible beams of the original construction", says the professional.
All
original coverings have been preserved. The original
burnt cement floor was recovered and the
tiles over the fireplace were also painted – the solution sought to mask the old fireplace that stood out in the middle of the room, to now insert it into a new, more urban and contemporary language.
