Brooklin Apartment: Mirrored Cabinets, Burnt Cement Ceiling and Colorful Spark

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]

    The front of the building that faces the street is made with a combination of concrete, steel and wood. We’ve used these natural materials throughout the building. Stairs and banister from steel plates on the ground floor and a banister and counter-top with a sink out of steel grid on the first floor.
    the flooring is out of concrete, with the concrete wall “accompanying” the entire house. Wood beams in the kitchen, the ceiling, a vertical shading and the floor.
    The challenge to create a living space while using every available inch and maintaining privacy, while communicating with the residents who are design enthusiasts was completed with 2 modern villas, each with its own connection to the outside and with a unique and fashionable living space in the dense urban surrounding.
