这个项目的主要挑战是给位于圣保罗中心区的空间带来一种房屋的感觉，在那里可以始终与自然接触。出于这个原因，我们选择了使用自然纹理和加强自然采光，并以浅色为主，与花园中的绿色形成对比。该项目作为一个实验，应用了日本建筑的元素：轻盈的构图，使用原材料和他们自己的自然纹理，以及tsuboniwa和shakkei作为景观概念。

The main challenge of this project was to bring to the space located in a central area of São Paulo a house feeling, where the contact with nature can be always present. For this reason, the use of natural textures and the enhancement of natural lighting were chosen and light colors that contrast with the green present in the gardens are predominant. The project performed as an experiment to apply elements of Japanese’s architecture: a light composition, use of raw materials and their own natural textures, as well as tsuboniwa and shakkei as the landscape concept.

自8世纪以来，椿树是日本建筑中的一个常见元素，但随着时间的推移，它被现代化了。它可以被理解为一个庭院花园，种植在建筑物的周围，在这个案例中，公寓，类似于一个冬季花园。这一元素被应用于公寓的社交区域，作为客厅、餐厅和厨房之间的视觉连接。

Tsuboniwa is a common element in Japanese’s architecture since the 8th century, but over the time it got modernized. It can be read as a courtyard garden, planted enclosed a building, in this case, the apartment, something similar as a winter garden. This element was applied in the social area of the apartment, as a visual connection between the living room, the dining room and the kitchen.

另一方面，Shakkei可以被翻译为 “借来的风景”，当项目使用背景的元素来构成建筑和景观时。在阳台上，我们可以看到火红的树梢，景观项目将其作为设计理念，创造一个贯穿所有阳台的花园。它的结果是室内和室外元素之间的安排，作为一个完整的圣保罗城市化地区的公寓内的一个巨大的绿色区域。

On the other hand, Shakkei could be translated as “borrowed scenery”, when the project uses elements of the background to compose the architecture and the landscape. In the balcony, we can see the treetop of a flamboyant, and the landscape project took it as the design concept to create a garden through all the balcony. It results in an arrangement between interior and exterior elements, as a vast green area inside an apartment on a complete urbanized zone of São Paulo.

随着公寓的改造，社交区已成为居民的一个大的生活空间。厨房、餐厅、客厅和电视被连接起来，并直接连接到公寓的花园。值得一提的是，如果有必要，厨房可以通过可旋转的玻璃门与其他环境隔离，允许光线通过，但阻挡了房间里的人的视线。

With the renovation of the apartment, the social area has become a large living space for the residents. Kitchen, dining room, living room and TV are joined and directly connected to the apartment’s garden. It is important to say that, if necessary, the kitchen can be isolated from the other environments by the pivoting glass doors that allow the passage of light, but block the view of those in the room.

在社交区，选择了美国的橡木地板，它与帕里卡的天然木质细木工制品相协调。外墙的原始墙壁被剥落并涂成白色，给环境带来了质朴的感觉。环境的颜色是由景观的绿色和装饰的小亮点赋予的。

In the social area, the American oak wood floor was chosen, which harmonizes with the natural wood joinery of Paricá. The original walls of the facade were peeled and painted in white, bringing a rustic feel to the environment. The colors of the environment are given by the green of the landscaping and small highlights of the decoration.

除了公寓的整个木工设计外，该办公室还设计了房间里的一些家具，如沙发和餐桌。关于沙发，我们可以说它的设计是为了成为环境的整合和连接的中心。它有多种功能，既可以用于放松的时刻，也可以用于谈话和社交的时刻。另一方面，桌子有一个细木工结构，安装在配件中，灵感来自于日本细木工结构。它有一个简单而轻巧的设计，可以适应最多样化的环境类型。

In addition to the design of the entire carpentry of the apartment, the office also designed some of the furniture present in the room, such as the sofa and the dining table. About the sofa, we can say that it was designed to become the center of integration and connection of the environment. It has multiple functions and can be used both for moments of relaxation and for moments of conversation and socialization. The table, on the other hand, has a joinery structure with mounting made in fittings, inspired by Japanese joinery. It has a simple and light design, adapting to the most diverse types of environments.
