Cheerful Living Inside Space-Savvy Modern Apartment with Custom Decor Solutions

ByMyProperty Life

Apartment living is all about maximizing space and finding a floor plan that specifically works for you. This generally means architects and designers must work closely with homeowners to create a perfect home that serves their ever-evolving needs. That is just what you get with the fabulous and light-filled Apê Ipojuca in Sao Paulo Brazil. Designed by Balaio Arquitetura, there are many innovative design solutions inside this apartment that make it a real inspiration for all those looking to transform their own congested homes. With an open plan living area, balcony on one side and kitchen on the other, there is a large social zone at that heart of this apartment.

White is the color of choice in here with a polyurethane floor that adds to the reflective charm of the interior. Adding contrast and delineating space without using walls is the concrete and wooden ceiling surfaces along with a dash of blue in both the balcony and the kitchen. There are a variety of seats in the living space like the swing, sofa and the armchair that give the area whimsical chair. A standalone unit that holds the TV allows those in the living room and the balcony to get a glimpse of it even as the white brick wall in the backdrop adds contrast without moving away from the color scheme.

  • Blackened Wood Apartment

    Taiwanese architecture studio CTT Architects designed this interior project for a doctor in Taipei City. The apartment is located on the 21st floor of the residential tower nestled in the mountains surrounding the Taipei Basin. The design concept places emphasis on the connection to the surrounding vistas. In contrast with the original layout, the living area has been rearranged such that one can enjoy the amazing urban night views whilst introducing the external greenery inside during the day. We have also tailored the layout to meet the requirements of the client’s modern life. Following a busy day at work, he can completely unwind in the living room in the midst of the mesmerising urban night views; and be awoken by the dappled morning sunlight reflecting off the surrounding green mountains. We believed that every aspect of an interior design requires a bespoke response to its own contextual surrounding as well as to the individual needs of the occupants. The different spatial functions such as bedroom and bathroom are seen as different grey units in the public space. However, homely styling is found inside the master bedroom. Wooden finishings are used to complement subtle light grey walls allowing the stunning views to be the main element – lush green mountain landscapes. At the entrance to the apartment, the simple grey wall with a small bench gives an air of simplicity in complete contrast with the mountain views seen through the expanse of the three window units, which speak for themselves. In the kitchen and dining area, the open plan provides ample space that can be adapted flexibly to suit the changing needs of the modern city dweller. In terms of material selection, fine textured black charred timber panels are deliberately chosen to frame the surrounding mountain and city views. The design strategy is to use the black charred wall to contrast with the green and sky during the day; at night, the blackened panels blend seamlessly into the night view. The custom-made black island comes with black taps to contrast with the white kitchen joinery behind. When it comes to detailing, our approach is to delineate different architectural elements through shadow gaps. For example the walls and ceilings are detached using shadows gaps which are also accentuated by indirect lighting after sunset. Every architectural element has been detached including the ceiling, beams, and walls to showcase themselves as individual elements and avoiding detractive decorations.
