In today's modern living spaces, open-plan apartments have become increasingly popular. They provide a sense of spaciousness and flexibility, which is particularly beneficial for small apartments. However, with all that openness, it can sometimes be challenging to divide these spaces effectively and create separate functional areas.
Designing a small apartment that was cozy, connected and with free circulation was the focus in the execution of the POP Grafite project located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, and signed by the Memola Estudio office in partnership with the architect Vitor Penha.

SMART HABITAT Unlimited Space. When the essence of the space is the movement that flows, the voids in height and the contraposition of the planes in the entire extension of the three coordinate axes, a new concept of habitability is generated and theme emerges the smart home design by architect Hector Ruiz Velázquez.
