The decorative composition of this apartment is the result of a trend that has been gaining strength in recent years: that of a minimal, clean décor, in which the sobriety of the whole is punctuated by specific pieces. The outcome is based on the assumption that we now live with less; there is no room to accumulate little things, nor is there time to enjoy them. It is necessary to reinvent and remodel to a trend that’s here to stay: living with less.

Diego Revollo began his studies in Civil Engineering at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo in 1994. He joined University Presbiteriana Mackenzie in 1997 and graduated in Architecture and Urbanism in 2001. He began his career in 2000 and in 2007 he started with his own studio. He works from the initial conception of houses, apartments and commercial environments, until the choice of objects and works of art. Diego likes to bring beauty to people's lives, to leave the space around them beautiful. In his projects there is not a main inspiration, he tries to follow and enhance his taste and aesthetic sense. For him, each project is unique, and needs its own identity. He always tries to start from the existing, often from the initial situation of the place, and together with the client they construct a "history". Diego does a totally personalized work that carries his signature, and this is why it is not easy to expand. He has a team of architects who help him, but everything about the projects goes through him. All the drawings, all the samples, objects... Everything passes through his hands. Each customer is very important to him, but the project of two stores were important achievements for Diego: Armani Casa - It is the “Seal” of the Italian brand of Georgio Armani for furniture and home accessories. He had the privilege of being chosen by them for the first showroom in Brazil. Associating his name with an internationally established brand as Armani was one of the highest points of his career. Artefacto - He developed the project of the showroom in Haddock Lobo Store in São Paulo. This store is a flagship, the most important and the one that sets the style of all the other stores in the group. He was approached by the store owner, and it was a great responsibility, but had a great repercussion and a very positive result. Diego works 9 hours at the office, and during the rest of the day, even not working, he is always thinking about projects and looking for new ideas. He is never totally off.

The decorative composition of this apartment is the result of a trend that has been gaining strength in recent years: that of a minimal, clean décor, in which the sobriety of the whole is punctuated by specific pieces. The outcome is based on the assumption that we now live with less; there is no room to accumulate little things, nor is there time to enjoy them. It is necessary to reinvent and remodel to a trend that’s here to stay, hence the proposition of this stripped-down lifestyle, compatible with the daily life of the client.The color palette of this Vila Olímpia apartment, in São Paulo, definitely lives up to its name: black and white delimit the 77m², which were very well used by Diego Revollo in yet another one of his projects. Located in a densely populated and business-oriented area, the residence is set in a modern, corporate and cosmopolitan setting. In his first contact with the office, the client was extremely empathic about the need to start from a design that tied up all the spaces of the apartment, with no forgotten or unused corners. It was necessary to integrate and value each square meter. Hence the challenge and the difficulty that motivated the development of the project: it was necessary to aggregate each of the parts without the owner of the apartment losing the privacy of his dormitory. The second bedroom was annexed to the living room, taking the form of a TV room separated by sliding frames. The expansiveness of the living room also merged the entirety of the balcony space into itself, becoming the central point of the apartment due to its amplitude and the interaction between the balcony and the home theater.
