SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
Designed by the Brazilian architect Gisele Taranto, the Metro apartment, of approximately 160m², is located in an ancient building in the famous neighborhood of Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The client, a young couple with two kids, was looking for more integrated spaces for their family to enjoy quality time together. Their originally 4-bedroom and 2-bathroom apartment was transformed into a 3-suite one - also adding a lavatory that was also not present before the renovation -, in order to meet the clients’ needs.
Looking for more functional fluxes as well as more privacy to the clients, Gisele reorganized the whole layout. Kids and adults’ private areas occupy opposite sides in the apartment, while the couple’s bathroom and closet can be used independently to the room, since they both open to a private hall that gives access to the living room. The same goes for the kids’ side, where the bedrooms are accessed by another small private hall.
The joinery was fundamental to organize the spaces, mainly in the living area. Long panels hide the doors to the other areas around the living room (lavatory, kitchen, bedroom’s private hall). The aesthetic priority in this project was to use light tones, like the white lac, the almond flooring and the grey limestone used in the living room’s bench and sideboard.
Nationally and internationally famous designers’ pieces are here-and-there in the project. Colors were added punctually and can be seen in the walls of the lavatory, in the Moroso fabrics applied to Jader Almeida’s Mila armchairs and in the Phillips stools, also by Jader Almeida. Other pieces like Moroso’s Fergana side table, Merano chairs, Mooi’s pendant and Molteni’s coffee table, are also part of the decoration.
In the master bedroom, the Scandinavian wallpaper sets the environment’s tones. Flou’s Nathalie bed, Jader Almeida’s Daff armchair and Rejane Carvalho’s Orquídea chair are the furniture highlights in this room. In the girl’s bedroom PIP Studio’s fabrics give a touch of prints to the joinery work, while in the boy’s bedroom, a graffiti by artist Bruno Big, brings youth and color to the space.
