The Lina Apartment tells a story of transformation while preserving the apartment's original essence. Designed in the early 1980s, the space is distinguished by its arched doors, high ceilings, and organic lines, which contrast beautifully with the modern layout of that era. The main objective was to honor these architectural features while integrating contemporary elements seamlessly.
A key highlight is the curated selection of Brazilian furniture, especially iconic pieces from the 1950s and 1960s that reflect modernist design and cultural richness. Among them, the Mole Sofa stands out—a long-cherished piece from Sérgio Rodrigues that found its perfect setting in this project. Over the years, a collection of furniture has been carefully assembled, focusing on items that tell a story and add layers of memory and meaning to the space.
These inspirations were translated by preserving the apartment's historical identity as a solid foundation for the new design. Timeless materials like wood flooring, linen, and leather bridge the past and the present, while lush greenery brings nature indoors. Fixed panels were avoided, favoring a more flexible layout with freestanding pieces that maintain a sense of openness and continuity.
One of the residents' main requests was to transform the kitchen into a central gathering space for family and friends. To achieve this, the previously enclosed area was opened to enhance natural light and improve flow. A central island became both a functional workspace and a social hub, adding a modern, sophisticated touch to the apartment.
Every object in this home carries a memory—from family heirlooms to travel souvenirs—infusing the environment with authenticity. This project is more than a renovation; it is a delicate balance between preserving history and embracing contemporary living, reflecting both the architectural legacy and the residents' personal journey.
