桑托斯市的一个旧家庭公寓的改造将我们与这个城市的不同历史时刻和它的独特建筑联系起来。这套公寓之前已经经历了一次装修，以适应当时居民的需要，而且，时间的流逝再次改变了家庭与空间的关系，产生了对公寓的其他形式的占用。房子的家具和装饰也反映了时间的流逝：瓷器柜、抽屉柜、椅子、桌子和绘画都是家庭亲人的回忆和遗产，给公寓带来了更多的古典色彩。

The renovation of an old family apartment in the city of Santos connected us to different moments in the history of the city and the unique architecture of its buildings. The apartment had already undergone a previous renovation to suit the needs of the residents at the time, and again, the passage of time changed the family’s relationship with the space, generating other forms of appropriation of the apartment. The furniture and decoration of the house also reflected the passage of time: china cabinets, chests of drawers, chairs, tables, and paintings are memories and legacies of family loved ones and gave the apartment a more classic tone.

在以前的配置中，该公寓有一个通过服务区的走廊通道，厨房在后面，与一个小浴室共享空间。除了这间套房，两间卧室共享一个面向循环的浴室。随着新的家庭动态，扩大厨房和客厅的需要意味着要拆除其中一间卧室。该项目的策略是创造一个灵活的空间，它可以作为电视室或客房，根据需要而变化。大型的木制滑动板实现了这种灵活性，并改变了空间，将满和空结合起来。Fórmica番石榴的面板与关闭服务区和厨房的三文鱼面板形成对比，从不同的角度划定了项目的调色板。

In its previous configuration, the apartment had a corridor access through the service area and the kitchen was set back, sharing space with a small bathroom. Besides the suite, two bedrooms shared a bathroom facing the circulation. With the new family dynamic, the need to expand the kitchen and living room meant the demolition of one of the bedrooms. The strategy of the project was to create a flexible space, which functions as a TV room or a guest room varying according to need. Large sliding wooden panels allow this flexibility and transform the space by combining full and empty. The panels, in Fórmica guava, contrast with the salmon panels that close the service area to the kitchen, demarcating the color palette defined for the project in different perspectives.

厨房被重组为一个岛屿，与浴室和服务区结合在一起，这使得厨房和生活区的空间得到更好的利用，并减少了使用率低的洗衣房。这一策略也使得厨房的自然采光得到改善，并且通过客厅-厨房的整合，实现了整个公寓的交叉通风。该项目利用了现有的木质地板，用拆除的瓷砖作为补充，重建了公寓的原始地板。在地板上，使用了陶土色的水力砖，通过将厨房的界限延伸到客厅，加强了这个流通轴和环境之间的衔接。在厨房的墙上，带有几何图案的水力砖暗指桑托斯运河的墙壁，这是城市的象征，建于20世纪70年代。

The kitchen was restructured as an island with the incorporation of the bathroom and the service circulation, which allowed a better use of the space for the kitchen and the living areas, and the reduction of the laundry room, of low use. This strategy also allowed an improvement of the kitchen’s natural lighting and a cross-ventilation through the apartment, from the living-room-kitchen integration. The project took advantage of the existing wood floors that were complemented with demolition tiles, reconstituting the original floor of the apartment. On the floor, terracotta colored hydraulic tile was used, which, by extrapolating the limits of the kitchen to the living room, strengthens this axis of circulation and articulation between the environments. On the kitchen wall, the hydraulic tile with geometric drawings alludes to the walls of the Santos canals, a symbol of the city and built in the 1970s.
