Architect Júlia Guadix , head of Studio Guadix, was given the challenge of designing her parents' new home , a 160 m² apartment, in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. (Guilherme Pucci/CASACOR)
“During the execution, we created several surprising solutions and details. However, even knowing their tastes, it was a great challenge in which I worked to bring answers to meet each expectation. Since they lived in a beach town for a long time, I invested in bringing some elements that refer to the aesthetics of coastal décor ,” comments Júlia. (Guilherme Pucci/CASACOR)
According to her, the layout of the property "changed from water to wine", since her project eliminated a bedroom and a toilet to increase the social area , integrated the kitchen with the living room and the balcony, removing as many divisions as possible, and rethought other spaces – strategies that made the apartment bigger than it actually is.

The apartment's social area includes a gourmet area, living room and dining room , totaling almost 60 m². To integrate these three environments, frames and walls that separated the spaces were removed. (Guilherme Pucci/CASACOR)
The living room features materials and coverings that ensure comfort for the architect's parents. On the wall, exposed bricks give more texture and depth , in addition to bringing a rustic style to the space. (Guilherme Pucci/CASACOR)
Upon entering the private area of the apartment, the hallway has a wardrobe, a cabinet that organizes bed linen and towels. Without taking up much space, the furniture is 40 cm deep. (Guilherme Pucci/CASACOR)
