This 900m² project is located in Vitória, one of the most elegant and valued urban areas in Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil. A complete renovation of the interior architecture was carried out, with new distributions of the environments and all the decoration.
In the new residence, the family already felt privileged to use the spaces in an uninterrupted manner, covering the 900m² flats. Architect David Bastos understood the individual needs of each one, as well as, because they are surrounded by many friends, the social areas spaces were dedicated to meeting the demand for large and small receptions, combining comfort and good distribution.
As the family has several houses around the world and travels a lot, the project design was based on a multiple look and also with the face of the region. The contemporary style aligned with classic touches, give a bossa that sets the tone of the project.
In order to create a neutral base that would bring together new furniture and pieces from other centuries, we opted for the use of light tones on the Sivec marble floor and joinery details that follow the same line. Large glass doors delimit the environments without separating them, creating a visual continuity that favors the perception of spaciousness and integration in the apartment.
Modern, but without giving up the old pieces, the project has furniture by great Italian designers, arranged alongside centenary furniture. And to finish off the charm of the project, many works of art by the most diverse artists stand out in the environments, such as the wooden sculpture by Emanuel Araújo, which gained prominence on the living room wall, the important Arcaz de Jacaranda from the 18th century, the polyptych of Miguel Rio Branco and the marble sculpture by Bruno Giorgi.
And for an apartment that seems to be on the high seas, there’s nothing more fitting than a generous balcony, designed to bring the feeling of freedom, well-being and integration with nature.
