A spacious
apartment filled with neutral tones is the new project designed by Studio
Moby Dick , led by architect
Mariana Rasslan . With 218m², the apartment located in the Lapa neighborhood of São Paulo is home to a family that is half Brazilian, half Chinese; and recently arrived from New York.
In the social area, the request was for total integration. The client is a
design lover and asked for a
light color palette with
little chromatic variation .
The office demolished the first suite and the original toilet to
expand the living space . The entire terrace was integrated into the
dining room and
living room, and a large island was also built to serve the
kitchen and barbecue area.
In the social area, the architect followed the same light color palette and marked the space between the TV room and the fireplace area with an
island sofa that serves both environments. In the kitchen, she positioned the stove on the
large central island , which also has stools for quicker meals.
All bathrooms followed the
minimalist language and received white coverings combined with technocement and black metals. The master suite has a main wall highlighted in black, with plaster moldings also in black. The concrete side tables and wooden floor form an
unlikely combination that results in a
cozy and
sober environment.
The son's suite was based on the idea of stimulating
play and having the
flexibility to be easily transformed into a teenager's bedroom. In terms of
furniture , the highlights are the Jóquei stools, by designer
Giacomo Tomazzi (on the island), the Tromso dining table and benches, by
Wooding , and the coffee table with built-in ecological fireplace, designed by the office itself and produced in
Neolith .
