The owner had a pretty clear idea of what she wanted and Jaime, her husband, followed her through the whole process. However, the designers say that the couple gave them the freedom to give life to space. “We proposed things to Telma and she said yes or no.” Like the Murano lamp that is in the living room was a piece that the designers found at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the couple acquired it immediately.

The structure of the building had to be reinforced. In addition, to accentuate the impression that it is floating, the architect decided to place the lamp on a mirror surface.

The owners have a very dynamic lifestyle, the modern design needed to be open and fluid. In order for the modern master bedroom to be larger, the layout of the rooms was changed. The kitchen and utility area was also transformed.

The use of Calacatta marble or the custom-made elements provides a high level of sophistication to the apartment, which becomes the ideal place to highlight modern furniture pieces and exceptional works of art. “The owners like the feeling of walking without shoes on the fresh marble floor,” says Zezinho Santos.
