A 165m² apartment of the seventies of a couple with no kids that lives in the United States but wanted to have a confortable and cozy place in São Paulo to receive their guests. The architectural challenge was to adapt the apartment without losing its identity, like the wood floor and Windows and the ceiling height. It was then possible to create a restroom and to make the couple’s bathroom bigger. All wall and floor coverings were removed, making space for new ones. The kitchen was supposed to remain closed and its access had to be discrete. It was then designed a big wood panel making the four doors “invisible” when closed. The led lighting is used to highlight this panel. The White walls were thought to house the couple’s extense art collection. The dining room buffet was designed with straight lines and with brazilian modernist tiles.
