Garú Apartment

It is in Brazil, on the coast of São Paulo, that a couple has taken up residence to enjoy their retirement. The architects of Estúdio BRA have been commissioned to renovate an apartment and adapt it to the lifestyle of the new occupants.

The work began with the decompartmentalization of the house which was previously too fragmented. Then, the kitchen, the dining room, the living room and the balcony were reworked and became a unique space, allowing different possibilities of use according to the desires and the needs of the owners. The subtraction of part of the walls provided, in addition to the visual permeability, the best air circulation throughout the social zone. The apartment is now organized in four different parts, marked by four different colors and textures: wood, concrete, white and blue.
