Apartment in Balneario Camboriu, Brazil

Unobstructed views

This 236m² apartment is redesigned as a vacation home for a family of five, without however making any major modification to the existing newbuilt property.

Design Aesthetic

The entire structure and internal finishes, such as the floors and finishes are preserved, with the design focusing mainly on the lighting and furniture within the space. The overall project aesthetic is minimal, featuring neutral tones in order to highlight the stunning views of the sea. A significant challenge was defining the layout of the open-plan space, which was redesigned to optimize the panoramic view of the beach that stretches across the entire Barra Sul. In parallel, the kitchen area, which includes a barbecue, is seamlessly integrated to the space, equipped with a large bench that serves for both work and family gatherings.

Functional Layout & Materials

The furniture is positioned strategically in relation to the all-glass façade, offering comfort while not obstructing the stunning views. Two types of carpentry panels are installed made of wood and white lacquer, which hide the cabinets that serve both as storage for the kitchen and as hidden doors for the bathroom and the corridor. Finally, the use of natural materials such as light wood, stone and fabric create a cozy environment.

Lighting & Furniture

Led panels and soft lighting is used throughout the space as well as a series of furniture from Brazilian designers Arthur Casas, Sérgio Rodrigues and Jader Almeida were carefully selected, offering style and comfort. Finally, an array of indoor plants and curated artwork complete the space.
