Apartment in Curitiba

Material lightness

This 209 m² apartment, located in the Bigorrilho neighborhood of Curitiba, Brazil, was thoughtfully renovated to suit the daily life of a couple and their daughter. The project was guided by a clear vision: to blend comfort, functionality, and a sense of lightness within a contemporary design that emphasizes fluid, well-planned spaces.

 

Design Philosophy

The key transformation involved integrating the social areas, combining the living and dining rooms into a single, spacious environment. This open layout fosters a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for shared family moments and entertaining. A cozy lounge with a fireplace offers a quiet retreat for the family, while the kitchen was reconfigured to be more functional and aligned with their daily routines. The couple’s bedroom was also redesigned with a focus on intelligent storage solutions and optimized spatial use, balancing aesthetics with practicality.

 

 

Lighting Design

A standout feature of the renovation is its carefully curated lighting design, aimed at highlighting the textures and finishes throughout the apartment while enabling a range of moods. A mix of recessed ceiling lights, continuous linear lighting, and targeted spot fixtures creates flexible lighting scenarios -perfect for both lively gatherings and relaxing evenings.

 

 

Material Palette

The project adopts a neutral color scheme, with shades of white, gray, and natural wood that reinforce a warm yet modern identity. Premium materials such as marble and custom millwork are strategically used to add sophistication and purpose to each space, ensuring a harmonious balance between elegance and everyday functionality.
