Completed in 2024 in Curitiba, Paraná, the Nest apartment features a contemporary
aesthetic that merge Scandinavian minimalism with modernist influences, creating a
serene and welcoming atmosphere. Spanning 103 square meters, the carefully
coordinated color palette is dominated by neutral tones like beige and off-white,
creating a calm and sophisticated atmosphere.

The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the living room and kitchen, enhancing
both visual fluidity and functionality. A natural stone accent wall, paired with earthy
tones and soft surfaces, creates a tactile interplay of materials that adds depth and
invites warmth. Curved-line furniture, like the armchairs and sofa, softens the rigidity
of hard materials, enhancing the sense of comfort. Natural light is maximized through
large windows, complemented by contemporary light fixtures that offer an artistic and
functional touch.

Red Accents

The neutral palette is punctuated by subtle accents, such as light wood chairs and
vibrant red details in the kitchen, creating a focal point without compromising the
design’s sobriety. The round dining table, finished in light wood, reinforces the
natural and organic aesthetic of the space. The kitchen’s textured stone wall
covering brings a tactile layer that contrasts with the softness of the furniture.

The choice of furniture reflects a pursuit of simple forms and natural materials. The
chairs, with curved backs made of light wood and wicker seats, evoke Scandinavian
design, while the slatted wooden coffee table contributes to a contemporary and
artistic atmosphere. The use of renowned design pieces, such as architecture books
and Bauhaus-inspired elements, reinforce the project’s intellectual and modern
personality.

Suspended plants complement the interior design, refreshing touch that balances
earthy tones and more austere architectural elements. The plants were strategically
placed to bring life to the apartment without overwhelming the visual harmony. With a
focus on functionality and an aesthetic that values comfort and visual lightness, the
result is a contemporary, sophisticated, and timeless environment.
