80 m² suite has the atmosphere of a five-star hotel

This 80 m² suite was designed by architects Diego Raposo and Manuela Simas to be a refuge for a couple in their 40s and 50s in the 400 m² residence where they live, in Petrópolis , a city in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro. The clients had already renovated the house with another architecture firm, but felt the need to add an annex to the second floor to house a closet, with a gym below. “They wanted a master suite that looked like a five-star hotel , as well as a spacious closet connected to the bedroom, with a side for each person,” says Raposo. “Her side also has a comfortable countertop that can be used for makeup,” he adds.

In terms of decoration, since the existing spaces were completely remodeled, Raposo says that it was necessary to buy new furniture. Among the designer pieces, he highlights the Pitu armchair (by Aristeu Pires) and the Helga chair (by Estudiobola) on the work table, near the window. To provide comfort and a welcoming feel, all the walls of the room were covered with natural freijó wood panels . The floor of the bathroom area, including the shower cubicle, was covered with honed Siena granite, while the floor of the bedroom and closet is made of tauari wood, finished in fish scale. Finally, between the bathroom and the bedroom, a hole was made in the plaster ceiling to install two motorized blackout blinds , which guarantee privacy when necessary or allow you to control the lighting in the space when sleeping.
