ByMyProperty Life

If you are looking for an affluent and happening neighborhood in Sao Paulo, then they do not come more sophisticated than Brooklin. It is here that we find this fabulous apartment that is just 55 square meters in size and yet feels much larger than it really is. The interior of the polished apartment has been created to meet the needs of a young couple with a hint of personality, dash of color and a series of space-savvy features. Designed by Talita Nogueira Arquitetura, it is a burnt cement ceiling that is the most unique feature of this cheerful apartment. Beyond the ceiling, you are easily drawn by the creative use of color as well!

Blocks of white, gray and green are used with geometric flair inside the apartment to shape the accent walls in both the bedroom and the living area. Light comes into the apartment from the balconies outside and a series of indoor plants in the kitchen and the dining space bring freshness to the interior. Custom cabinetry in the living area and the bedroom bring storage options to the apartment while sparkling mirrored door for these cabinets ensure every room feels a lot more spacious than they actually are. Reflecting light and offering visual depth, it is these mirrored surfaces that make the biggest difference to the ambiance in here. [Photography: Eduardo Macarios]

  • Mercer Modern

    Mercer Modern is a midcentury home located on a hillside on a 15,539 SF lot in Mercer Island, WA overlooking Lake Washington. The original house had great bones but was disconnected from the outdoors. Wittman Estes wanted to give the family a way to live outside and connect with their Southern California roots. Originally built in 1969, the post and beam structure had fallen into disrepair, and had a layout that was out of sync with the casual modern lifestyle for a young family with two children. The owner is Melanie Owen, a fashion designer with a keen interest in interior design and outdoor living. Originally from Southern California, her design sensibilities were rooted in SoCal surfer culture and the casual and open vibes of beach living. Both Melanie and her husband, Matt, work in fashion and clothing and have deep interests in texture, materiality, and a spaces with a comfortable lived-in feeling. Ms. Owen’s roots in Southern California brought a love for bright, light tones, and simple open spaces. Together with the architect, this vibe was mixed with Pacific Northwest traditions of wood tones and highly crafted built-in furniture. The goal was to create spaces that had both the qualities of Southern California modernism with a warmer, high quality carpentry that the Puget Sound region is known for. The outdoor deck has a ipe decking and built in seating. Cedar slat walls screen the neighboring houses while allowing the sunlight to filter through the screens. The kitchen was reconfigured to orient to the outdoors encourage an easy connection between the living room, dining room, and outdoor space. A concrete and glass stair connect the upper terrace to the garden and landscape. “We sought to connect the spaces in so the family could be relaxed and cruise barefoot going indoors and out”, says Wittman. The breezy and lightweight feeling of the material palette encourages the family to step outside and connect with the sunlight and views over Lake Washington and towards the downtown Seattle skyline.
