So Paulo was where he grew up and lived for many years; Fribourg, in Germany, was where he completed his specialization; and finally, Braslia, where he established himself.Save this picture!Save this picture!The conceptual decisions for the project were designed to reference these three cities while also paying tribute to the philosopher Nietzsche, one of the most studied thinkers by our client.Save this picture!One of the main interventions was the integration of the kitchen with the living room, which revealed the concrete structure and cobogs, elements that enhance the building's cross-ventilation. In the transition between these two spaces, the pair of exposed pillars became the support for a table we designed in exposed concrete. Its organic shape is an indirect homage to one of So Paulos most iconic buildings: the Copan.Save this picture!During our first visit to the apartment, we discovered that the bedrooms still preserved their original wooden parquet flooring, hidden beneath a floating floor. We decided to restore this wood, preserving its history. In the social and wet areas, the previous renovation had replaced the original floors with ceramic tiles that didnt enhance the property. For these spaces, we opted for black hydraulic tiles. This choice carries an emotional significance while also referencing residential buildings in Braslia that feature black floors in their pilotis. Additionally, the contrast created by the flooring highlights the clients furniture and artwork.Save this picture!To honor Fribourg, we chose a light yellow tone for the apartments doors, inspired by the historic center of the European city, where buildings have doors and windows in various pastel shades.Save this picture!Save this picture!The renovation also included the reorganization of the wet areas to meet the clients needs. We created a suite, kept a spacious social bathroom, and achieved the desired integration of the kitchen with the living room, which required relocating the service area.Save this picture!A special highlight of the project is the new wall of the service area, visible from the living room. It features a tile panel created by Marco Rodrigues, a local artist. The piece, entitled The Symphony of Fire, was designed exclusively for the Nietzsche Apartment and represents, in abstract colors and shapes, the clients passion for music. The panel, made of glazed tiles, stands out as a key element of the design.Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:North Wing, Brasilia, DF, BrazilLocation to be used only as a reference.
