The inspiration for the retrofit of this apartment was to bring a home atmosphere with a Brazilian soul and modernist elements in the decor. Of the original plan of this 117m² apartment in the central region of the city of São Paulo, little has been preserved. During demolition, all structural elements of the building were exposed.The hydraulic tile with geometric motifs alludes to the tiles by Athos Bulcão, an artist who established his mark on the buildings of Brasília in partnership with Oscar Niemeyer. The starting point was to create a layout in which the eye would look inside the apart.
