DESIGN NAME: Vila Leopoldina Loft
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Loft
INSPIRATION: Located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, this 70 square meters loft belongs to an young musical and advertisements actor. His modern lifestyle reflects the concept of an integrated loft, whose social and intimate areas are separated only by a curtain, which also refers to a theatrical scene.
For the whole structure of the apartment it was chosen a single material, burnt cement, which covers floor, walls and ceiling. It was added to this neutral structure an unusual mix of shades of burgundy, lilac, purple and yellow.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As a request of the client who lives alone, the intimate area was designed to bring comfort. Closet, bathroom and tub were sectored by creating a gap, and also with natural wood for the floor. The integration of this area created an atmosphere of SPA or a real bathing room.
Also in this area, it was created a small office with acoustic isolation that allows the owner to work from home.
The result is a well used apartment, that brings everything to a practical and actual lifestyle, without losing beauty.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: An interesting point of the project is the contrast of cement, colors and wood.
The set is harmonic, beautiful and extremely actual.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in april 2013 in Sao Paulo, and finished in november 2013.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For the whole structure of the apartment it was chosen a single material, burnt cement, which covers floor, walls and ceiling. It was added to this neutral structure an unusual mix of shades of burgundy, lilac, purple and yellow.
The kitchen with gray structure and burgundy cabinetry received a yellow top, which occupies the eating area and also the food preparation area. The choice of yellow broke the used shades and made the apartment even more modern and cheerful. In addition, the top on the same height for the stove and for the dining table was a bold architectural solution.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The apartment has 70 square meters.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main idea of the project was to keep the concept of loft; an integrated and open space that was consistent with the original proposal of the project of the building and that corresponded to the habits of the new resident.
Single, actor, announcer and young man, the idea of living in a small but pleasant space, practical but comfortable married his pace of life and his contemporary vision of the way of living.
CHALLENGE: Contrary to the idea that small spaces ask for small furniture, it was chosen an ultra sized sofa, which takes up two walls of the living room. Unlike what people imagine, this sofa has brought immense breadth and lightness to the room.
