By The Paulista Apartment, crafted by Andrade Morettin Arquitetos Associados, boasts a distinctive feature: a spacious internal garden located on the south corner of the building. This garden, resembling a balcony, serves as a welcoming nexus that bridges the gap between the urban surroundings and the apartment’s interior.
Integrating Environments: Fluid Living Spaces
Central to the design is the integration of living spaces, delineated by defined uses within the open-plan layout. The living, dining, and leisure areas seamlessly flow together, with a bench adjacent to the garden providing flexibility for diverse activities.
Unified Social Area: Material Palette and Integration
The social area exudes unity through the use of materials such as stones, exposed concrete, and lacquered panels. The kitchen, seamlessly integrated through sliding panels, and the intimate room, located on an elevated level, serve as focal points within this cohesive space.
Transition Spaces: Corridor Connectivity
A generous corridor connects the living and intimate areas, creating a balance of scale and materials. Wooden panels and flooring in the bedrooms and office introduce a tactile and visual contrast, enhancing the overall spatial experience.
Adapting to Existing Levels: Challenges and Solutions
The apartment’s restructuring involved addressing various existing levels in both the floor and ceiling plans. These challenges guided the proposal, resulting in a harmonious blend of reserved and integrated spaces, each designed to maximize functionality and aesthetic appeal.
In conclusion, the Paulista Apartment embodies a harmonious fusion of urban living and natural tranquility, with carefully curated spaces that prioritize connectivity, versatility, and visual coherence.
