Lina Apartment sits in Blumenau, Brazil, where Alencar reimagines a 1980s apartment without losing its original character. Arched doors, high ceilings, and organic lines meet a renewed interior anchored by Brazilian modernist pieces and a convivial kitchen. The project preserves the bones while shifting the home’s daily rhythm toward gathering and light.
Un Plaza Apartment sits high in Manhattan, New York, where Sherman Architects refines a once-compromised residence into a poised, open corner home. The New York studio pares back 1980s clutter to reveal long sightlines, reconnecting rooms to the tower’s mid-century order and the East River beyond. In this apartment, material restraint and precise moves restore calm, clarity, and the views that matter.
