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!

Modern Brooklin Apartment designed by Talita Nogueira Arquitetura in Sao Paulo












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]

    Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle. At ground level, a back-split condition responds to the natural slope of the site. An adventurous sectional arrangement continues vertically upward, with additional split levels arranged around a 3-storey light well, drawing sunlight (and moonlight) deep into the house. A home office occupies the light well, with views to the living room above, and a library space below. What would typically be the dark middle of the house is bathed in sunlight and enjoys a feeling of expansive vertical space. The various regions of the home are all closely knit together across this interior light well, creating an interesting balance between separation and intimacy: While the family may be individually occupied with remote activities (cooking, lounging, working, playing), they are always quickly and easily engaged with one another. The three principal living spaces (Living room, Kitchen/ Dining area, Library) also expand outwards, into separate exterior areas, each with its own unique and complementary character. At ground level, an arrangement of subtle level changes and low partitions gradually increase the degree of privacy as one moves from the street, through the interior, and into a secluded, forested back garden. The third floor living room – an urbanized version of a cabin in the woods with wood stove and cedar ceiling – nestles intimately into tree tops at one end, and opens widely toward the sky at the other. An upper level outdoor terrace offers easy enjoyment of the city skyline, urban tree canopy, sunsets, and the night sky. The house is thus organized around three principal axes which connect the interior with the outdoors: a ground level Garden Axis, a third level Sky Axis, and a vertical Sun Axis.
