In this interior design project in Curitiba (PR), a 1970s apartment was updated with interventions in the layout and material choices. But it truly comes to life with the active participation of the clients, who brought references (and furniture) from Arquea’s own work and introduced antique pieces, design items, prints (by Niemeyer, Burle Marx...) and objects acquired during their travels. This is a project based on the clients' trust in our work, clients who researched and valued what we do, making the process an organic mix of ideas and references.
The interventions in the layout stem from the residents' profile: a young couple without children, who love to entertain but also value moments of tranquility. Thus, we expanded the social space for cooking and hosting friends by integrating the living, dining, kitchen, and laundry/balcony areas, enhancing the natural light in the space (even with the closed balcony, through the frosted glass door) and adding unique elements, such as the tiles we designed specifically for the project.
At the same time, we designed an intimate, yet not isolated, space by creating a closed circulation between the bedrooms with a natural feijó wood veneer panel. The idea here is to provide privacy and respect the quiet moments of one or the other part of the couple when necessary.
Among the references the clients brought from Arquea’s work are the metal shelving unit designed by us, the wooden armchair created by the studio, and the table with a Guatemala marble top—an element that repeats in the master bedroom.
From these dynamics between the clients' needs and the renovation constraints of this 1970s apartment, new solutions emerged: the wood panel that composes the closed circulation in the private area continues in the kitchen cabinetry, also becoming an aesthetic signature of the project. Meanwhile, expanding the living area allowed the apartment to be connected from one end to the other, bringing in plenty of natural light, creating a view from one side to the other, and enhancing the sense of spaciousness.
