Unique Properties

The beach atmosphere, relaxed, very carioca, with a palette of light colors and brush strokes of blue reminding the sea were some of the requests of the customers. Given this program, the renovation of this apartment in Sao Conrado Beach in Rio de Janeiro had as its starting point the integration of its internal and external views.
The careful choice of flooring materials in the social area took into consideration the Urban Beach concept: Travertine marble floors and off-white Stucco walls to refer to the color of sand.

Dimensions & Packaging

Its original circular floor plan underwent many changes, the largest of which was the displacement of the couple's suite that was at the back of the apartment to occupy the front, facing the sea. The pantry was incorporated into the kitchen, a beauty salon, a playroom and two suites for the children were created.

Production Technology

In the decor, the mix of contemporary furniture of Brazilian and Italian design integrates with antiquariato furniture. We took advantage of many furniture in the old apartment and choose to buy new furniture and objects without the "supermarket design" footprint.To organize the books, objects and collections of affective value, we designed bookshelves that are scattered in the living room, bedrooms and playroom, executed by CAP Israel Joinery.

Design Challenge

The biggest challange was to create a urban contemporary beach house.

Project Duration

The project started in May 2016 and finisehd in July 2018 in Rio de Janeiro.

Operation Flow

The building has a privileged location and is located in the center of the site, so the entry of natural light is sufficient to dispense the use of artificial lighting during the day. LD Studio's lighting design project aimed to highlight the artwork and the use of each space, and was concerned with low energy consumption and high performance equipment. We have the time of connection and entertainment, but we also have the time of relaxation. It is in that latter that landscaping enters in this apartment. Plants not only decorate the spaces. They are intended to return the connection to nature.

Research

Nowadays our homes play a important role in our daily routine. We need to face the reality of the twenty one century with its high velocity, technology and intense spread of information. Given that fact, it was a request of the customers to create a relaxed and calm atmosphere. Our research was focused on this concept, by finding ways to integrate the relaxed beach atmosphere from the outside with the inside.

Inspiration

The main inspiration for this Interior Design Project was the beach atmosphere, with its light colors palette and blue reminding the sea.
Taking into consideration fishermen's houses made of wooden planks, we choose to use lacquered wood paneling to cover some walls and ceilings. The direction of the paneling rules varies so much that the traditional rhythm is deconstructed. Doors, cabinets and trapdoors are disguised through this feature.
