When the lawyer couple decided to move into this 110 m² apartment in Leblon (RJ), they commissioned architect Rafael Ramos to complete a renovation project. “They asked us to modernize the entire apartment, not only integrating some of the spaces, but also adding versatility of use. In the decoration, they wanted the lightness of the Rio de Janeiro style and cozy, welcoming spaces ,” says Rafael.

The old guest bathroom was given the appearance of a lavatory by means of a slatted panel that camouflages the shower enclosure. The kitchen was integrated into the dining room and, in place of the demolished wall, a wooden panel with sliding doors was installed to isolate the spaces, when necessary.

As the clients love armchairs designed by Sérgio Rodrigues, in the living room, they decided to display, in a prominent place, the couple's favorite model: the Renata armchair . In terms of finishing touches, Rafael prioritized neutral and light materials to highlight the carpentry solutions, custom-designed by the firm. “We started with the natural wooden parquet floor , which is original to the property and was lightened during the restoration, to define the color palette for the living room decor, which, in addition to the individual furniture, features carpentry finished in freijó cathedral, white or gray lacquer,” he says. The cabinets in the kitchen integrated into the living room were finished in a soft green lacquer , adding color without visually weighing down the space.

Another highlight is the suspended rack in gray lacquer with a slatted finish on the front and sides, the Dama bar (designed by Fernando Jaeger) and the Renata armchair (designed by Sérgio Rodrigues).
