The proposal for this apartment, located in the Brooklin neighborhood of São Paulo, is the intersection of rooms in a unified and adaptable space. Each space has its own functionality, creating a connection which, depending on the furniture set up, can increase or decrease room size accordingly.

Making most of the original undivided floorplan and the fact the owner lives alone, it was decided no further walls would be erected. The elements dividing the space are two exoskeletal carbon steel closets with wooden and polycarbonate finishing, all inexpensive materials.

The closets being moving elements allow one to change the setting according to their needs: increasing the living room, displacing the sole bathroom to the common area; when moved in the other direction a larger bedroom is formed. Moved apart, a more ample space is created, unifying the living room and bedroom.

All projected furniture is designed in the same material, certified wood with natural sealant, avoiding chemical products. Details in blue melamine laminate comprise the wooden furniture. Carbon steel and polycarbonate panels are fitted on a steel rail fixed on the unsealed concrete slab.

The monolithic burnt cement floor reinforces the impression of integrated spaces and fits well with the unsealed concrete slab, which is also apparent. The choice of not incorporating plasterboard also ensured savings in materials.

The windows on the wall common to both living room and bedroom face west while the balcony and bedroom window are positioned towards the southeast. Natural light in the apartment is intense until the late afternoon. UV-resistant roller shutters made of recycled polyester allow for optimal thermal comfort, thus reducing the need for air conditioning considerably.

The light fixtures are only needed in the evening. The project’s lighting is designed to be as efficient as possible, affording sufficient light with a minimal number of fixtures. All lamps are of high quality LED-technology due to its durability and electrical efficiency.
