The family’s proposal was to modernize the space, the new program would not need the service room, nor one of the original 3 bedrooms, but it should include a suite, a home office space and a more social kitchen. Therefore, the key point of the project was to transform the living room by adding a part of both, the kitchen and one of the old bedrooms, thus gaining ample and flexible space. In this environment are the functions of living, dining, cinema, office and kitchen. The division of the rooms is demarcated by the columns and concrete beams now exposed during the construction process. To house the voluminous library of the couple, both academics, two fixed structures were proposed: shelves above the office bench and niches under the concrete bench built along the main window.

Positioned on the rear façade, the wetted part of the project was optimized and included the complete overhaul of the hydraulic and electrical installations. The reorganization of the plant housed two practically identical bathrooms, one facing the living room, the other facing the suite. The laundry room new location, behind the kitchen, freed the view of the cobogó from the living room, providing direct cross ventilation throughout the social area.

The decision then was to limit the number of coverings and enhance those already existing in the space, such as the concrete of the structures, the cobogós on the façade and the hardwood flooring, in Brazilian Peroba Rosa wood, which gives the apartment its name.
