About AP Cabral
Revitalizing a 200m² (2,153ft²) Apartment Space
A 200m² (2,153ft²) apartment was redesigned for a young couple. They had a unique challenge: carve out separate social and intimate spaces while ensuring a warm environment for various gatherings. Specific infrastructure changes and floor plan designs met the clients’ needs. Notably, relocating the main entrance door became the most significant alteration. This move shaped a welcoming hall, seamlessly connecting the social zone with service entrances and intimate areas. Consequently, the apartment’s circulation and dynamics transformed.
Natural Aesthetics with a Modern Twist
Natural curupixá wood panels and polished cement floors define the space’s materiality. These neutral elements harmoniously incorporate colorful touches, vividly reflecting the family’s personality.
