Ultra-Small 30 Sqm Studio Apartment in Brazil Gets a Makeover in White

If you love to browse through studio apartment inspirations, then you will absolutely adore this gorgeous little space in Brazil designed by Leandro Garcia. Dubbed Água Verde Apartment, this lovely little unit was created to maximize space in more ways than one. The living room has a monochromatic white backdrop with wooden floors and color is kept down to a bare minimum. This allows for a more visually spacious apartment where there is no fragmentation of space. Much of the backdrop is occupier by a series of open bookshelves that give varied decorating options. A glass coffee table that morphs into dining table turns the living area into dining room when needed.

Small modular sofa rests next to the spacious bookshelf in the living area along with striped rug that adds color








A striped rug in the living room is the only furniture piece that adds both color and pattern while a small, single-wall kitchen in the backdrop adds woodsy warmth to the setting. It is easy to understand why the designers went for such a small kitchen since much of the living area is occupied by the coffee table / dining table and the modular sofa that leans on to the bookshelf. A door between the bookshelf leads to the small bedroom that is also clad completely in white.

Same area can be used as dining area and the living room whenever needed

  • Waverley Residence

    Designed for a young couple, the 5,000 sf home and 1,700 sf back house sit on a flat 21,000 sf lot in a 1920’s Palo Alto neighborhood (a few blocks away from Steve Jobs’ residence). The architecture is a study in strong simple composition and is museum-like with its highly refined materiality and emphasis on craft. The massing defines solid and void, captures natural light, and connects the indoors with the landscape, seeking to ‘experience the outdoors from within.’ The ground floor volumes wrapped in an elongated hand-fired brick from Denmark, emphasizing the horizontality of the architecture that lays solidly on the land. Bronze-trimmed ceiling planes slide between the brick masses, and floor-to-ceiling glazed openings are captured by thin-profiled bronze frames. In contrast to the grounded brick volumes, the second floor is clad in stainless steel panels and oversized aluminum-framed windows. The lightness and openness of the second floor is nestled among the oak-tree canopies of the site. At the basement level, a wine cellar and tasting room open to a sunken landscaped courtyard. A 30ft by 10ft continuous pane of glass runs alongside the grand stairwell of floating stone steps, connecting the three levels of the house. Due to the unprecedented size of this glass in residential design, it was custom manufactured in Germany and shipped to California. This dramatic moment in the sequence of progressing through the house helps visitors feel connected to the lush landscape outside. Inside the house, materials such as a custom leather door and bronze anodized details were selected for their unique craftsman-style quality. Another custom-designed element is the steel mesh screen that wraps around to enclose the kitchen for privacy, separating this from the more public “guest hosting” areas adjacent. The steel screen slides along a track embedded into the teak slatted ceiling and disappears into the pantry when retracted. A freestanding structure set deep back into the site is a zen-like fitness/yoga studio as well as a guesthouse with a kitchenette. This dramatic stone mass opens up completely in the center to give the impression of exercising outdoors. The landscape integrates California native plant species, grasses and trees to compliment the materiality of the architecture.
