About Contemporary Mix Apartmana Niştecîbûnê

Di vê nûvekirina apartmanek ku di salên 1990-an de hatî çêkirin, ji bo yekbûna herî zêde hemî dîwarên hundurîn ên qadên civakî hatin rakirin. Xerîdar xwedan berhevokek mezin a bermayî û kevnar bû. Ji bo derbaskirina dijwariya berhevkirina van hêmanan di nav pêkhateyek hevgirtî de, her hêman bi baldarî hate hilbijartin da ku hestek navîn-sedsalê biafirîne. Beşa bingehîn a vê projeyê, ji xeynî mobîlyayên pir cihêreng ên ku li hember dîwarên spî têne xuyang kirin, karanîna berbelav a kevirên xemilandî yên xwezayî yên Brezîlyayê bû.

Unique Properties: In this renovation of a 1990's apartment, virtually all the walls were demolished to create an integrated living-dining-family room. Aside from the mixed use of furniture of different styles, creating a balance between traditional and contemporary, the main elements of this project are the natural ornamental rocks from Brazil.
Dimensions & Packaging: The whole apartment is 400 square meters. The extended living room area spans 180 square meters.

Production Technology: All the walls were removed in the living area, to maximize the space. As the client had a large amount of antiques and family memorabilia, I created a neutral white backgroud to focus the emphasis on the furniture and decorative elements of the project. One main resource was the use of brazilian decorative stones. There's a large panel of backlit translucent Patagonia quartzite with an exquisite natural pattern.
Design Challenge: The main challenge of this project was to combine furnitures of different periods. The client had many family items and personal belongings that should be used to create the character of the space. It was important to "soften" the old feel of these elements with fresher contemporary furnitures, decors and art works. Dosing all the items correctly, it was possible to have a space that emanates grandeur but, at the same time, is very warm and inviting.
Research: The client had a very problematic living area, highly compartmented and old fashioned. The main need was to integrate all the areas to create more fluidity. Other problem was the large amount of antiques and family memorabilia of different time periods and with divergent designs. All these items had to be merged into a contemporary design, thus a great challenge, as it is very easy to have a bad balancing of the elements. Lots of research was done in mid-century designs, as they deal exactly with this problem of divergent design elements. And, although there are no mid-century elements, it's very clear that this project has this feel.
Inspiration: As always in my designs, the inspiration comes from the personality of the client. In this case, the client is a businesswoman whith a large collection of antiquities and family memorabilia. The challenge was to adapt this vast universe in a contemporary setting and I immediately decided there should be a very neutral base, e.g. the white walls. From this point, the reserarch was done focusing on mid-century designs, mainly to understand mixed compositions.
Project Duration: The project started in 2019 and was executed in 2020, during the pandemics. It was finished in 2021. Located in Blumenau, Brazil.
Operation Flow: The space was thought in a way that it could work for the family's daily routine, as well as to accomodate a large number of guests during receptions. The large living area is, at the same time, divided and integrated by a recamier that connects a lounge to a TV and fireplace area. All spaces are axially organized to create a visual balance.
