- Production Technology
- The project features custom carpentry, natural wood finishes, integrated LED lighting systems, and furniture by Brazilian and Italian brands. The design development process included ergonomic zoning, lighting simulations, and studies on material mood and spatial flow.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was balancing spatial openness with visual lightness and functionality in a compact area. Custom solutions were developed for storage, lighting, and acoustic comfort without compromising the elegant aesthetic.
- Research
- Qualitative design research was conducted to understand user behavior in integrated residential environments. Objectives included optimizing layout, enhancing well-being, and improving the use of light. Research tools included observation, lighting simulations, and spatial flow mapping. Findings directly informed aesthetic and functional design decisions.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the pursuit of emotional balance and visual serenity, this project explores how spatial integration can enhance comfort and connection. The concept draws from the idea of creating a sanctuary within everyday life, where design fosters calmness through light, proportion, and material harmony.
- Project Duration
- The project began in May 2024 and was completed in December 2024, in Volta Redonda, Brazil.
