The young couple who live in this
145 m² apartment in Campo Belo (SP) are full of personality: she is a ceramic artist who expresses all her delicacy in paintings and pieces; he is a lover of outdoor sports. In common, the couple share a passion for entertaining friends and family at home and share a dog and two cats.
So, to create a house that reflected their personality, they also called on a professional known for her creativity: architect
Ana Weege , from
CASACOR SP . "They asked me for a
very fashionable and artistic project. With vibrant colors, lots of wood and a relaxed feel ," says the professional.
The first step was to integrate a third
bedroom into the master suite, creating a walk-in closet and his and hers
bathroom . Part of this new space also became a home office/studio area for the couple, which can be isolated or not by means of a large bookcase door.
The balcony was also integrated and the original window frames were removed. With the glass enclosure, the social area was expanded and the balcony now functions as a dining room.
The barbecue is hidden behind a wood panel that runs along a rail. When not in use, it is not visible and the panel forms the corner of the bar.
The old service
bathroom was knocked down due to the expansion of the kitchen, which now has more cabinets to store the pieces created by the resident.
Pieces designed by Ana appear throughout the project: the
Serpentina dresser has a smaller version in the entrance hall, the
Obal mirror with a sphere of natural rose quartz complements the
décor of the bathroom and the
rug covers the floor in the TV area. Also noteworthy is the chandelier in the dining room, designed by
Ingo Maurer .
"We applied cementitious mass to the entire social area and kitchen. I like this application in projects with smaller areas, because we don't have to use grout and we get a seamless look with the feeling of an expanded space," says Ana. The same coating appears on the barbecue wall.
Finally, to contrast with the cold floor, the vinyl ceiling has a wood texture.
