Located in Vitória, Brazil, the Apartamento Orla reflects the vibrant lifestyle of a young couple and their two daughters. Inspired by the residents’ traveling spirit, the interior design captures the essence of the couple by blending natural elements with contemporary touches. In particular, warm wood and Brazilian straw harmonize with travel souvenirs and curated design pieces that express their passion for exploration.
Living Room: A Display of Memories
The project development began in the living room, where the design team envisioned a prominent shelf with staggered niches to showcase travel memories. This display not only tells a story of adventure but also creates a focal point that invites conversation. Additionally, artistic elements are thoughtfully integrated throughout the space, such as a striking painting by artist Manoela Monteiro that enhances the room’s character.
Entrance Hall: Brazilian Charm and Personal Touches
In the entrance hall, which flows seamlessly into the living area, the Mole armchair by Sérgio Rodrigues and the La Vie en Rose rug by artist Henning Kunow make a bold statement. These pieces add personality and a distinct touch of Brazilian design. Moreover, they set the tone for the entire apartment by merging functionality with artistic flair.
Artistic Bedrooms: Irreverent Yet Cozy
The bedrooms in Orla Apartment stand out for their innovative approach to wall and ceiling treatments. In the master suite, the design features an organic headboard and terracor textures on both walls and ceiling, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Similarly, one of the children’s bedrooms embraces terracor texture in a playful pink hue on all surfaces, while the other features custom wallpaper by the plastic artists from Estúdio Castro. In each space, the ceilings contribute as much to the overall design as the walls, adding an irreverent yet cozy touch that makes every room uniquely personal.
A Harmonious Blend of Travel and Nature
Throughout Apartamento Orla, artistic and personalized elements enhance the living spaces, ensuring that each area reflects the residents’ passion for travel and appreciation for natural materials. The combination of handcrafted details and thoughtfully selected design pieces creates an environment that is both stylish and deeply personal. Ultimately, the Orla Apartment is a testament to the art of living well, where every corner tells a story and every design choice celebrates the journey of life.
