Design highlights the natural light and spaciousness of this 190 m² apartment

The Sergipe apartment, designed by Luis Canepa Arquitetos , is an example of elegant, functional and unpretentious décor located in a modernist building in the historic Higienópolis neighborhood of São Paulo. With a total area of 190 m², this space stands out for its spaciousness and the use of wooden elements that bring a cozy and sophisticated feel. The integrated social area , the focal point of the apartment, welcomes visitors generously, extending to a balcony that invites them to contemplate the urban landscape. One of the room's striking features are the floor-to-ceiling windows , typical of the region's architecture , which guarantee greater exposure to natural light and also ensure a more airy and refreshing environment. The layout design prioritized fluidity , avoiding visual obstructions and optimizing every inch of the floor plan. To achieve this, the furniture was strategically positioned to preserve the harmony of this space. In the image below, you can see the architect's choice to delimit the bathroom and the dining room with a wooden panel of brise- soleil, which, in addition to creating an entrance hall, provides privacy in a subtle way, without compromising the light. The lighting design was one of the key elements in creating a welcoming atmosphere. The use of large shelves highlights the length of the living room and provides indirect, soft lighting, while direct light points highlight specific areas such as the dining table, sideboard and artwork.

Another detail is the diversity of styles of furniture and items that make up the decor. Each piece was carefully chosen to complement and interact with the others without excess information, resulting in an environment that conveys authenticity and personality . The bathroom and toilet are decorated in light colors on the walls, furniture and flooring – a solution that helps create a sense of spaciousness and depth in small spaces. The wood tones in the carpentry details effectively complement the rest of the decor.
