This is a newly built two-story single-family home featuring a terrace, pool, and garden. It is a single-story residence with a surface area of 120 m², located on the 4th floor of a residential building. The apartment was in its original state, and the owning family contacted the studio to carry out a comprehensive renovation of their home.
Upon entering the home, we find a small foyer, which we designed with storage space for personal items.
The living room, dining room, and kitchen share the same space, where warmth and elegance merge in perfect harmony. In every project, when designing the layout, we like each space to be well-defined while maintaining fluidity between them.
These three spaces have in common that they belong to the daytime and social area of the home, where the family gathers to share experiences and participate in daily activities, promoting a more collaborative environment and favoring communication.
For the kitchen cabinetry, we opted for a taupe color, combined with brass faucets. We placed the cooking area at the back and the sink on the island.
We designed a glass partition with a sliding door which, in addition to acting as a decorative element, also serves as a dividing element between the kitchen and the foyer.
For the living room, we chose to design custom bookshelves next to the fireplace, using the same finish as the kitchen cabinetry.
By maintaining continuity in the furniture finishes between the kitchen and the living room, we achieved a sense of fluidity and visual harmony, which helps both spaces feel integrated and coordinated, despite being different functional areas.
Furthermore, we achieved a smoother transition between the kitchen and the living room, where the physical separation is minimal, avoiding abrupt contrasts.
The dining room is situated behind the living room, in the most secluded area, where we placed an oak wood table and a sideboard with storage space.
For the color palette of these three rooms, we opted for neutral tones with touches of grayish green and mustard, which, combined with the oak wood and the botanical mural, bring great warmth to the space.
For the 8-year-old boy, we created a magical space for our little lover of the marine world. The main wall is decorated with a beautiful mural of colorful fish and seaweed, creating an underwater oasis perfect for his imagination.
The toys and books are organized on two custom-designed shelves that flank the desk, located by the window. And, due to a lack of space for a bedside table, we designed a wainscot with indirect lighting and a shelf that, besides decorating, serves to hold an alarm clock or a book and to conceal the radiator.
The 6-year-old daughter was clear that she wanted a room with space to play dress-up with her friends.
We decided to decorate the main wall with an original and vibrant mural of colorful little houses, capable of transporting the child to a world of fantasy and adventure, where each house represents a different story. Additionally, her parents requested plenty of storage for her clothes, toys, and costume collection.
In the design of the bedroom, we also considered her future needs, so we designed a desk that combines study space with a practical integrated bookshelf. Furthermore, it doubles as a bedside table, providing convenience and functionality.
We wanted to create a cheerful bathroom for the children that would grow with them, so we decided to avoid markedly childish decor and opt for versatility and timeless style.
With a refreshing palette of blue and white tones, we managed to create a bright, serene, and contemporary atmosphere in this small space.
Furthermore, thanks to a carefully planned layout, thoughtful lighting, and the extra storage provided by the custom-designed vanity, we achieved a beautiful, bright, fresh, and functional bathroom.
The clients requested that the primary bedroom feature a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. While it is true that we did not have much space, despite its size, we managed to make the most of every inch by designing the custom closet and furniture.
For the color palette, we opted for neutral tones with touches of moss green and mustard. The special touch is provided by the beautiful botanical mural, which adds depth and prominence to the headboard wall.
There is no doubt that this solution provides functionality, privacy, and comfort for daily life, allowing one to enjoy peace and relaxation without interruptions, as the three rooms are located in a private area of the home.
As always, we designed appropriate lighting to create a warm atmosphere, a sense of well-being, and a home where one truly wants to be.
