FF Apartment: Sophisticated Contemporary Home with a Social Kitchen at its Heart

ByMyProperty Life

It is barely a surprise that an apartment that was designed for a couple who own a chain of bakeries and are avid cooking aficionados has a fabulous kitchen at its heart. That is just what one gets with the exquisite FF Apartment renovation carried out by Studio 2 Arquitetura e Interiores in Brazil as its new interior now has a more spacious common area, better circulation and a refined contemporary appeal. The apartment in Águas Claras features a polished, open plan living that is clad in neutral hues with a view of the lush green Águas Claras Park just outside its floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Exposed brick wall in the living room adds textural contrast to the spacious, polished setting












Apart from the obvious spaciousness of the living area and the way in which the kitchen ends up becoming the focal point of the setting, another interesting aspect of the apartment is its captivating use of contrasting textures. In the kitchen, a beautiful central island draped in Mont Blanc quartz and custom cabinets in gray and wood usher in this textural charm while porcelain tiles and exposed concrete pillars bring that ‘something different’ in the living are and dining rooms. Cleverly placed MDF panels on the walls improve the acoustics of the common area along with the coziness that they bring while an accent marble wall in the main bedroom ends up stealing the spotlight.

    Take a journey to the woods and trek through the forest. For every step you take, listen. A far cry from the city, the suburb- the familiar. Not there, but here. Be present. The house is a not a house. Nor are you, you. Here, it is different. The grazing of light gently paints the surfaces of the atrium. The windows are open fully; no, rather, nature, in all its sublime invites itself into the traveler’s abode, filtering the morning light – its rays carrying forth the scent of the pine forest beyond. Your coffee isn’t the same anymore. The slow drip of time are now ever evident, the light, pronounced. Your movements occupy the passage of time. Cooking around the kitchen island elevates an appreciation for nature’s bounty. As there is slow food, there is slow space, slowness, silence. The house weaves through the forest. Nature shapes the house, the house shapes light, and the light shapes us.
