Designed by the office of Jayme Bernardo Architects, led by architect Jayme Bernardo, the interior project of an apartment located in the Ecoville neighborhood in Curitiba (PR), Brazil, emphasizes the complete integration of the social area. With a private area of 525 square meters, it was planned from scratch to meet the needs of a young couple with two children. The residents’ desire was clear: a modern space with large integrated areas that provide comfort and functionality.
Project Name: Neutrality Contrasts with Warm Tones
Studio Name: Jayme Bernardo Architects
The concept of the project follows a contemporary style, with a predominantly neutral color palette contrasted by warm tones of caramel and gold, adding elegance and a sense of coziness. The main materials used include travertine marble, which covers the entire floor of the social area and one wall, as well as natural oak wood in the carpentry of the gourmet space.
The project originated from a family context, as the client was referred by his father, a resident of another property designed by the same office. “This created mutual trust and an even greater challenge to meet the demands for exclusivity. The structure of the apartment, delivered by the construction company, was maintained according to the original plan, allowing the creation of a social area fully integrated with the intimate and service areas,” says Jayme Bernardo.
In the decoration, classic family pieces were integrated into the modern design of the apartment, providing a personal and emotional touch. Highlights include an important work by Vik Muniz and another by Gonçalo Ivo in the living room, as well as a piece by Heloisa Crocco in the intimate living area.
Among the standout elements is an exclusive Louis Vuitton leather panel and a fully glass wine cellar by Salamon, which divides the intimate living area from the main living room, creating an impressive visual effect. Another highlight is the Karat Blau pendant by Ingo Maurer, made of acrylic plates covered in gold leaf, which adds a touch of luxury to the environment.
