This apartment occupies the top floor of a 60’s building in Campo Grande, Lisbon. The compartments had harmonious proportions and were well lit, so the main challenges were to re-organize the program, establishing a connection with the attic that was vacant at the time, and provide the technical facilities of a contemporary home.

When it comes to decorating and designing properties, there are few spaces which present as much challenge as a studio apartment. Not only are you working with a small space, but that space is also required to fulfil a laundry list of functions, which can often result in claustrophobic living spaces.

The renovation of this 112m² apartment was a challenge beyond its size: the owner of the residence, located in Rio de Janeiro, is a longtime friend of the architect Guilherme Torres. Denilson Machado, a photographer renowned for his architectural and interior records, wanted his home to have the atmosphere of an art gallery.

The interior of this project can not be called simple. We have long and carefully worked out his style to combine modern details with elements of vintage.
We selected warm wood and soft textures of carpets and textiles, mixed them with steel tables, recycled plastic and old mirror frames.
