Plasterboard shelf hides structural pillar in this 220 m² apartment
Designed by Fernanda Medeiros – from the CASACOR Rio cast –, this 220 m² apartment in Lagoa (RJ) is the new home of a couple and their two young daughters. She is a designer and he is a lawyer. The family was looking for a larger property that would not only comfortably accommodate their daily routine (with their daughters growing up), but would also be ideal for entertaining family and friends on the weekends.

Right at the beginning of the demolition, a challenge arose: two imposing pillars were discovered – one on the wall separating the master suite from the living room and another behind the sofa, blocking the passage of the air conditioning pipes.

What would have been an obstacle became an interior design and architecture solution. A generous plasterboard shelf was created that not only allowed the air conditioning pipes to pass through, but also added a touch of charm and warmth to the room.

The custom carpentry is one of the highlights of the apartment. “We used natural American oak veneer for the project developed exclusively for the living room. The bedrooms and kitchen featured custom carpentry specifically for the project,” says Fernanda.

A vibrant blue wall stands out in the couple's bedroom , combining perfectly with the white and the slatted wooden headboard , giving a touch of elegance and coziness.
