The young architect Guilherme Torres was
called to redesign this duplex apartment penthouse in the Itaim neighbourhood,
in São Paulo, Brazil.
The building, a Rocco Associados project, is known by a huge Campana brothers
sculpture, measuring 70m high, located in the building’s central atrium.
The client, a young and single
entrepreneur of the civil construction area, wished for a wide and contemporary
apartment, where he could relax and receive his friends.
All the walls were literally put down and all the installations were
rebuilt. The main covering used was the polymer cement, used in floors, stairs
and walls of the whole apartment.
The main concept of
the project is the big bookshelf that surrounds the whole living room. It not
only organizes books, collections and electronic devices in niches but also
becomes in a workstation. All this work was handcrafted by the woodcraftsman of
the Studio Guilherme Torres, in Canadian oak.
The kitchen was
completely integrated to the living room. With a wide concrete table enchased
to the main pillar, receiving the cooktop and Sérgio Rodrigues chairs.
The pool table was a
client request, who receives every week his friends to play. The client chose
the model, that was painted blue.
The furniture follows
a color pallete inspired by the 70’s, with a rug in natural wool, features
Vitra’s Slow Chairs.
The upper floor gathers
the home theater and a wide suite, with emphasis on the floor, all covered with
demolition wood
