Other Projects by STUDIO ARTHUR CASAS
MW Apartment
Recife, Brazil
The sea view is the centerpiece of this apartment, located in the iconic building by architect Gil Borsoi – a key figure in the dissemination of modern architecture throughout the Brazilian northeast. With a volumetric design full of movement and tall beams, the project's challenge was to create comfortable high ceilings and allow for integrated social environments. The solution was to embrace the exposed beams and, from the location of the pillars, encase them with woodwork, distributing the social areas in a broad and continuous manner, separating them from the private and service areas. Additionally, the circulation was designed to ensure comfort and accessibility, as per the couple's requirements.
The intimate area, designed to meet the needs of the couple who live in the apartment with one of their daughters, includes two suites and a master suite with two closets and interconnected bathrooms. The office was specifically designed to accommodate an extensive photography collection. The service area includes a kitchen and a dedicated breakfast space – a special request from the clients, who enjoy gathering during this time of the day. In the social area, the living rooms, dining room, and terrace are integrated and feature a continuous lateral landscape design to ensure privacy.
The proximity to the sea and the warm climate led to the choice of cool, resistant materials, particularly the unique flooring that extends throughout the entire apartment, reinforcing the sense of fluidity. The walls in the social area were finished with a cement paint that mimics the texture of the exposed beams and pillars, creating a contrast with the Canela wood panel, which extends from the entrance of the apartment to the gourmet area with a long bench.
From the outset, special attention was given to the lighting project, signed by Maneco Quinderé, which focuses on built-in lamps and warm-toned LEDs, creating a comfortable and natural light. The textures of the fabrics, carpets, and curtains were selected to bring warmth and coziness to the space. The furniture includes pieces by renowned designers such as Ricardo Fasanello and Arthur Casas, including the Breaco lamp, the Ela and Fusca sofas, and the Max chair. The apartment also features an outstanding collection of local folk art by artists like Nicola, Jean, Veríssimo, and Dona Irineia, among others.
