About RA Apartment

Innovative Design for Urban Living

A young couple’s 70 sqm (753 sqft) apartment unfolds as a marvel of design, featuring a singular “Pau Ferro” wood volume. This clever construct encapsulates almost all the apartment’s functional spaces, effectively zoning areas and guiding movement. Remarkably, the bedroom’s visibility toggles with a curtain, effortlessly delineating private and social realms based on need and occasion.

Beyond Wood: A Glimpse into Shared Spaces

Stepping beyond the wooden enclave reveals the kitchen, dining room, and living area, all unified by a striking yellow epoxy-painted floor. The kitchen, sporting stainless steel surfaces in a rich wine hue, contrasts beautifully against decorative tiles lining the wall behind the countertop.

Maximizing Space with Custom Furnishings

Confronted with the challenge of a compact space, the design maximizes every inch. It introduces custom-made furniture including a sofa, dining table, bed, nightstand, headboard, and even a dog house, all integrated into the woodwork with precision.

The sofa, embracing a pillar, features movable backs for versatile comfort, catering to both relaxation and social dining engagements.

A Harmonious Palette

The project’s color and material palette was selected with meticulous care to avoid clashes while injecting personality into the space. The aim was clear: to eschew monochromatic monotony in favor of vibrant living.

This approach not only maximizes the apartment’s functionality but also elevates its aesthetic, ensuring a unique and inviting home that resonates with the couple’s dynamic lifestyle.
