Colorful Brazilian Apartment Makeover Blends Concrete with Contemporary

ByMyProperty Life

If you love modern Brazilian design that comes with an inherent hint of ruggedness, then you will adore this beautiful apartment in São Paulo that is no more than just 125 square meters in size. Dubbed Flora Apartment and designed by Studio Arquiteturas for a client who was willing to experiment both with color and pattern, the new interior of this space feels both captivating and vernacular at the same time. Brilliant splashes of color welcome you in here with a bright blue table and home bar at the end of the hallway. The living room is equally fabulous with a custom wood accent wall, wooden floor and a ceiling and walls in concrete.

Swing in the living area keeps things cheerful and moving!








There is no shortage of color throughout the apartment with each spaces showcasing bright pops of blue, green, yellow, orange and a whole lot more. Dining table chairs, accent cushions, wall art and other features bring color without taking away from the raw appeal of the concrete backdrop. A custom entertainment unit in wood in the living area, bedside tables in the bedroom and other décor pieces usher in warmth of wood while the bathroom with its colorful walls and graffiti-clad backdrop steals the show with ease.

The number of differents suppliers and the short time for execution. Every detail thought of in the office made all the difference to the final result”, says the architect Evelyne Grande. The big highlight is the toilet. A glass translucent door is already unusual for a bathroom. “We brought the neighboring Vila Madalena into the toilet with arts by Luís Bueno and Gráfica Fidalga” explained the architects. Scenery for many selfies!

  • Olympia Prairie Home

    The designer’s task was to build a modern, budget-minded home that was livable and respected its rural environment. The Yelm residence is a contemporary take on a country home: using a combination of simple, cost-effective methods to create a warm, comfortable space through clean lines and precise design. A minimal exterior material palette of wood and stucco siding with metal panel accents helps to highlight the beauty of the 10 acres of land on which the house rests. Concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls frame the entry and a flat roof plane hovers overhead to ground the project into the prairie style landscape. The home reflects the clients’ informal lifestyle and relationship to the environment. He is a graphic designer who works from home; her hobbies include sewing, craft projects, and gardening.
    The home is 2,200 square feet and L-shaped in plan, which allows for the master suite and office to be separated from the guest rooms, craft room and garage. Centrally placed are the open plan living room, kitchen, and dining room. These rooms create a core space with expansive glass walls that connect the owners visually and physically to the landscape. Private views of foothills and tree-covered wetlands are offered through the transparent core, along with sightings of deer and elk near the back patio. Designed with radiant floor heating, heat-recovery technology, and natural ventilation, the simplicity of the floor plan’s organization creates an intimate and warm interior environment. A concrete masonry fireplace paired with the copper-toned, stained birch ceiling also adds material warmth. Circulation through the space is enlivened by built-in storage benches, acting as visual breaks and adding pops of color. Efficient planning and the repetition of elements throughout the house helped to keep costs down, resulting in an economically priced, modern home that compliments its natural environment.
