Introduction
Nestled in the coastal city of Riviera de São Lourenço, Brazil, the Garcia Apartment underwent a remarkable transformation under the guidance of Luiz Paulo Andrade Arquitetos. With a focus on maximizing space and functionality, this renovation project redefined the concept of beachfront living.
A Spacious Retreat
Spanning approximately 550m² across two floors, the Garcia Apartment was designed to offer the utmost comfort and ample space for its occupants. Boasting five suites and expansive common areas, the apartment was envisioned as a haven where family and guests could unwind and socialize.
Practical Design Solutions
To accommodate the family’s desire for both comfort and space, the architects approached the project with a pragmatic mindset. Drawing inspiration from the functionality of a small hotel, the apartment was meticulously organized to optimize every inch of available space.
Functional Layout
The lower floor houses the primary suites and essential service areas, including a functional kitchen connected to a cozy breakfast area. Each suite is thoughtfully furnished with a double bed, bunk bed, and trundle bed, ensuring a comfortable stay for couples and families alike.
Leisure and Entertainment
On the upper floor, the focus shifts to leisure and entertainment. The children’s suite and recreational areas are seamlessly connected to the pool, creating a dynamic space for outdoor enjoyment. Folding doors offer the flexibility to integrate the gourmet area with the external terrace and pool, while additional amenities such as a sauna and barbecue area enhance the leisure experience.
Thoughtful Integration
Embracing the concept of a “small hotel,” storage areas and pantries were strategically positioned to facilitate flow and maintenance. Every corner of the apartment was utilized efficiently, without compromising the integrity of the main spaces.
Harmonious Design
The choice of materials played a crucial role in achieving a cohesive and visually appealing aesthetic. Neutral tones and natural textures create a serene and welcoming atmosphere, while wooden ceilings and panels enhance visual comfort throughout the apartment.
Conclusion
The Garcia Apartment renovation exemplifies the power of thoughtful design in transforming living spaces. By prioritizing functionality, comfort, and aesthetic harmony, Luiz Paulo Andrade Arquitetos has crafted a coastal retreat that seamlessly blends relaxation, leisure, and modern living.
