In Vila Ipojuca, in São Paulo, is the 130m² apartment of content creator Isabella. She and her husband, with their two pre-teen daughters, chose the property already thinking regarding renovating it to make it the way they always imagined. It was up to the architects Daniele Capo from NOSSA Casa Arquitetura and Cris Trolesi to face the challenge.

The result squanders so much personality and accurate choices that it mightn’t go unnoticed here. So I visited the apartment and had a complete tour of it. Therefore, at this week’s Open House, you’ll find great tips on timeless, minimalist décor that fits the personality of its residents, with a touch of modernity.

The stainless steel kitchen presents practical and aesthetically interesting solutions. The sink’s wastebasket, for example, is built-in, as are the sockets on the island counter where quick meals are made. Another room worth checking out is the couple’s bedroom: the exposed concrete ceiling, the bathroom with translucent walls and the shower box with enviable dimensions will surprise you.

I took a tour of the apartment and I show all its details on my channel. Already here, a chat with the architects and also more photos of the project.

Casa de Valentina: What was the biggest inspiration for the project?

Nossa Casa and Cris Trolesi: The idea was to create a harmonious and cozy environment in which all the elements talk to each other.

CV: What were the main points and/or highlights of this project?

Nossa Casa and Cris Trolesi: The highlight was the choice of materials, designed to create a timeless project with personality.

CV: How would you rate the project?

Nossa Casa and Cris Trolesi: Contemporary/modern and minimalist

CV: Did the project have any architectural changes?

Nossa Casa and Cris Trolesi: Yes! Changing the location of the toilet. Before, it was at the entrance to the apartment, on the left side, but more space was needed in the suite, as the client needed a lot of closet space. With that, it was necessary to take a part of the service area to make the new toilet.

CV: What was it like thinking regarding the proposal for the master suite?

Nossa Casa and Cris Trolesi: In the master suite, the option adopted was to leave the exposed concrete on the slab. There were some interventions such as disassociating the bench and shower from the toilet area, leaving the toilet cabin to remain where the toilet was initially – occupying a much smaller area, precisely to have space for cabinets, in addition to removing the walls of masonry and the insertion of a glass partition with film.

CV: Is there anything you want to highlight in the project?

Nossa Casa and Cris Trolesi: The office contacted the construction company to avoid wasting material. Therefore, it was not necessary to install the countertops, metals and coatings in the wet areas, as everything would be changed.
