Ret Apartment

An apartment with Praça da República, in downtown São Paulo, as its garden. The Retrofit apartment is a rental property designed by Superlimão to accommodate a variety of residents. The living room decor prioritized neutral elements and sought to open up circulation to the balcony. A wood-framed cabinet divides the bedroom and living room, transforming the 50 m² apartment into a loft. The full-length glass panels, with abundant light and views of the lush green treetops, combined with exposed concrete and steel, bring the São Paulo atmosphere into the property. Delivered by the construction company unfinished and seemingly small, the owner had in mind that the project would be practical, as the building's characteristics suggested a modern and relaxed tenant. SuperLimão then conducted a survey of the daily needs of a resident, and from there, the project developed. With shelves supported by concrete beams and a washing machine installed in the closet, the project offers versatility. The goal was to create spaces in which the future resident of the apartment could display their story: an ornament, a book, a photograph, giving the interior design a bit of their personality.
