The 360-degree view of the entire city of São Paulo and the 4-meter ceiling height in the living room initially seemed like immense challenges for the Anastassiadis Arquitetos creative team. How could such a large space be made welcoming? However, challenges are often not uncommon in architecture. The MD apartment in Vila Nova Conceição, a 1,200 m² duplex penthouse, raised further issues to be considered.
The resident and her husband, who have a strong connection to Eastern knowledge and feng shui, were also seeking a greater meaning. “It was interesting for us to study and investigate this,” says architect Felipe Anastassiadis. The family wanted a home where time passed differently, where there was space for silence, and where each room also respected the needs of their disabled son. This attentive listening guided the entire architecture. Creating an accessible apartment without compromising the quality of the design and its aesthetics meant studying proportions, heights, and access. Inclusion, which often comes up
as an item on the agenda, became the focus.
The apartment's design is based on a circular movement. At the center of the penthouse, a lounge under a dome that opens to the sky marks the beginning of everything. There, Italian pendants inspired by the planets converse with the cosmos and the earth. In the furniture, Gio Ponti finds an oriental atmosphere without forcing a narrative. It is from this core that the apartment expands: the rooms flow smoothly from one to the next, from the living room to the home theater, passing through an indoor garden that integrates architecture and nature – there is even a tree in one of the spaces.
The house is well stocked with art, design, and textures, in a well-thought-out production that reflects the couple's spirit. The residents collect important names such as Solange Pessoa, Artur Lescher, Carla Chaim, and Abraham Palatnik, who dialogue with Amelia Toledo's design on stone benches, in addition to pieces by De Castelli. There is also an impressive wine collection in a striking wine cellar.
If at the beginning of the project there was the challenge of making the apartment cozy, it was solved with straw coverings and wallpaper, which provide a tactile, warm surface. On the upper floor, the Persian stone floor contributes to the almost monastic atmosphere. Below, wood warms the more intimate rooms.
In the master suite, earthy tones and rugs chosen in conjunction with the resident convey a deliberate tranquility. Vintage pieces appear to add warmth to the composition. The bedroom of the daughter, who is a digital influencer, reflects her identity. The son's bedroom, on the other hand, was adapted down to the last millimeter: the bathroom countertop was designed for his height and the furniture was custom-made.
The stairs connecting the two floors are marked by a sculpture by Kimi Nii, an artist who reinforces the link with the Asian imagery that nourishes the project. In the bathroom, a Carlo Scarpa sconce illuminates the soberly carved stone. And in the wine cellar, hammered bronze handles, brought from Paris, reveal the search for details – which expresses the couple's taste for craftsmanship and Anastassiadis' search for handicrafts that bring an aura of care. These elements enrich the project, within the office's authorial thinking.
