Xilo Apartment by TAU Arquitetos
The project is the interior design of a 67m² apartment in Vila Madalena, São Paulo. Through the client’s taste in wood engraving, we found a way to incorporate this aesthetic into the project.

The project’s main goals were to create a new connection throughout the rooms, value the couple’s works of art, expand the visual contact with the surrounding natural environment
Deciding to divide their time between the capital São Paulo and a calmer city, architect and family chose to build in Vinhedo SP. Completed shortly before the pandemic, the house became a universe for parents and children.
Located in Itaim Bibi, a neighbourhood in São Paulo, Pedroso Apartment is a three-bedroom apartment designed for a young couple, who aimed for a timeless project and neutral colours scheme, with a subtle touch of classic style.
Like a metallic container placed above exposed concrete walls, this house establishes two types of relationships with the surroundings. The upper floor can be closed 100% to block sunlight, guarantee the privacy and acoustically isolate intimate spaces.
The LR house was built on a sloping plot, surrounded by neighboring lots on both sides. The project sought to privilege the powerful visual range of the landscape that unfolds from the east face, opposite to the main access road.
Guilherme Torres accompanied the young couple from the purchase of the lot – a 463m2 house, built in the 80’s at the heart of a traditional neighbourhood of São Paulo – to the final steps in the remodelling of the house.
The building, possibly from the late 1950s, although it was located in a central region of the city, it was built in a leafy neighborhood, presented a mix of styles, arising from successive extensions and renovations, but had the ideal area.
